Lyrics[]
- Come they told me, pa-rum pum pum pum
- Our 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
- Baby Jesus, pa-rum pum pum pum
- I'm 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 pum pum pum
- On my drum
- Mary nodded, pa-rum pum pum pum
- Ox and mule 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 pum
- Then he smiled at me, pa-rum pum pum pum,
- Me and my drum.
- Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
- rum pum pum pum
- Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
- rum pum pum pum
