Harry Simeone Chorale – Little Drummer Boy lyrics
Come they told me
(Pa-rup-a-pum-pum)
A newborn King to see
(Pa-rup-a-pum-pum)

Our finest gifts we bring
(Pa-rup-a-pum-pum)
To set before the King
(Pa-rup-a-pum-pum)

(Rup-a-pum-pum)
(Rup-a-pum-pum)
So to honor Him
(Pa-rup-a-pum-pum)
When we come

Baby Jesus
(Pa-rup-a-pum-pum)
I am a poor boy too
(Pa-rup-a-pum-pum)

I have no gift to bring
(Pa-rup-a-pum-pum)
That's fit to give a King
(Pa-rup-a-pum-pum)

(Rup-a-pum-pum)
(Rup-a-pum-pum)
Shall I play for You
(Pa-rup-a-pum-pum)
On my drum

Mary nodded
(Pa-rup-a-pum-pum)
The ox and lamb kept time
(Pa-rup-a-pum-pum)

I played my drum for Him
(Pa-rup-a-pum-pum)
I played my best for Him
(Pa-rup-a-pum-pum)

(Rup-a-pum-pum)
(Rup-a-pum-pum)
Then He smiled at me
(Pa-rup-a-pum-pum)
Me and my drum
