The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The Little Drummer Boy

Come they told me, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum

Our newborn 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

Baby Jesus, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum

I am a poor boy too, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum

I have gift to bring, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum

That's fit to give our 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

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

Me and my drum
