Little Drummer Boy: Lyrics

Come, they told me

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

Our newborn King to see

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

Our finest gifts we bring

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

To lay before the King

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

Rum, pa, pum, pum, rum, pa, pum, pum

So to honor Him

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

When we come

Little Baby

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

I am a poor boy too

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

I have no gift to bring

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

That's fit to give a King

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

Rum, pa, pum, pum, rum, pa, pum, pum

Shall I play for You

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

On my drum, on my drum

I played my drum for Him

For You honored me

Mary nodded

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

The ox and lamb kept time

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

I played my drum for Him

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

I played my best for Him

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

Rum, pa, pum, pum, rum, pa, pum, pum

Then He smiled at me

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

Me and my drum

When we come

Me and my drum

The Little Drummer Boy - A Christmas favourite

The little drummer boy – Sung by Charlotte Church

This is the story of a poor boy who wanted to impress a visiting King by giving all he had. The last to perform, dressed in rags, with lack of support, he played his drums letting his soul and spirit create the symphony. The animals heard it, stopped and then honored him with their wagging tails. The people remained hushed and humbled, and the King bowed deeply when the boy finished his performance. The boy was summoned by thje King & was allowed to enter the palace of the King.
