Lyrics

“Come,” they told me pa rum pa pum pum
“Our newborn King to see!” pa rum pa pum pum
“Our finest gifts we’ll 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 Jesu pa rum pa pum pum
“I’m a poor boy too pa rum pa pum pum
“I have no gift to bring pa rum pa pum pum
“And I’m compelled to sing ‘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 shuddered pa rum pa pum pum
“Are you nuts?” she said pa rum pa pum pum
He’s only three days old pa rum pa pum pum
“He’s getting myrrh and gold pa rum pa pum pum rum pa pum pum rum pa pum pum
“NOW GET OUT!” she said. “So glad you could come.”
“Leave the drum."
