[Verse 1]
"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 (Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
When we come (We come)

[Verse 2]
Baby Jesus, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum (Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
I'm a poor boy, too, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum (Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
I have no gifts to bring, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum (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? (On my drum)

[Verse 3]
Mary nodded, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum (Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
Ox and mule kept time, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum (Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
I played my drum for him, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum (Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
I played my best for him, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum, rum-pa-pum-pum (Rum, rum)

[Verse 4]
Then he smiled at me, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum (Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum)
Me and my drum (Me and my drum)
(Rum, rum, rum)
[Chorus]
Rum-pa-pum-pum, rum-pa-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum (Rum-pa-pum-pum)
Rum-pa-pum-pum, rum-pa-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum (Rum-pa-pum-pum)
Rum-pa-pum-pum, rum-pa-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum (Rum-pum-pum-pum)
