Little Drummer Boy

Written by Harry Simeone, Katherine Kennicott Davis and Henry Onorati (Delaware Music Corp/Warner Chappell)

Come they told me- pa rum pum pum pum
A new born king to see – pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring- pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the king – pa rum pum pum pum,
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
So to honour him – pa rum pum pum pum
When we come

Little baby – pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy, too – pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring – pa rum pum pum pum
That’s fit to give our king – pa rum pum pum pum,
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Shall I play for you – pa rum pump um pum 
On my drum

Mary nodded – pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time- pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for him- pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for him- pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pumThen he smiled at me – pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum
