Come, they told me (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)
a new-born king to see (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)
our finest gifts we bring (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)
to lay before the king (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum
rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum)
so to honor him (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)
when we come
Baby gesu (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)

on my drum?
Mary nodded (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)
the ox and lamb kept time (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)
i played my drum for him (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)
i played my best for him (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum
rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum)
then, he smiled at me (pa-rum-pa-pa-pum)
me and my drum
