[Verse 1]
Come, they told me, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Our newborn 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, hey
So to honor Him, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
When we come
Hey, drummer boy

[Verse 2]
Little Baby, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I am a poor boy, too, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I have no gifts 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, ooh yeah
Shall I play for you, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
On my drum
Hey, drummer boy

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
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-pum, ooh-hoo-hoo
Then He smiled at me, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Me and my drum
[Outro]
Me and my drum, we're gonna play for you
On my drum, on my drum, on my drum
This is my drum
Me and my drum, yeah
I wanna play for you, yeah, on my drum
I wanna play
