Roberta Flack

Little Drummer Boy

Come, they told me

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

A 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, a 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

Yoi da adash

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

The ass

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
