The Little Drummer Boy

from the album 'Dream A Dream'

Come, they told me, param pum pum pum,
A new born King to see, param pum pum pum,
Our finest gifts we bring, param pum pum pum.
To lay before the King, param pum pum pum,
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pcm.
So to honour Him, param pum pum pumx
When we come.

Baby Jesus, param pum pum pum,
I am a poor boy too, param pum pum pum,
I have no gift to bring, param pum pum pum
That's fit to give our King, param pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Shall I play for you, parum pum pum pum
On my drum?

Mary nodded, param pum pum pum,
The ox and lamb kept time, param pum pum pum,
I played my drum for Him,param pum pum pum,
I played my best for Him, param pum pum pum,
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum puma.
Then He smiled at me, param pum pum pum,
Me and my drum.
