      The Little Drummer Boy
    Davis, Onorati & Simeone, 1958







Come, they told me parum pa pum pum
Our newborn King to see,
   parum pa pum pum
Our finest gifts to bring, parum pa pum pum
To lay before the King, parum pa pum pum
Rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum
So to honor Him, parum pa pum pum,
   when we come.





Baby Jesus, parum pa pum pum
I am a poor boy too, parum pa pum pum
I have no gift to bring, parum pa pum pum
That's fit to give a King, parum pa pum pum
Rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum
Shall I play for you, parum pa pum pum,
   on my drum?






Mary nodded, parum pa pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time,
   parum pa pum pum
I played my drum for Him,
   parum pa pum pum
I played my best for Him,
   parum pa pum pum
Rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum
Then He smiled at me, parum pa pum pum,
   me and my drum.
