Lyrics

LITTLE DRUMMER BOY
Traditional Carol
Arrangement: Alexander James Adams

“Come,” they told me,
PAH RUM-PA-PUM PUM
“A newborn king to see”
PAH RUM-PA-PUM PUM
“Our finest gifts we bring”
PAH RUM-PA-PUM PUM
“To lay before our king!”
PAH RUM-PA-PUM PUM,
RUM-PA-PUM PUM,
RUM-PA-PUM PUM-
“So to honour him,”
PAH RUM-PA-PUM PUM
“When we come!”

Baby Jesu,
I am a poor boy too-
I have no gift to bring,
That’s fit to give a king-
Shall I play for you
On my drum?

Mary nodded,
The ox and lamb kept time-
I played my drum for him-
I played my best for him-
And He smiled at me-
Me and my drum
