Come, they told me
Pa ra pa pa pum
A new born King to see
Pa ra pa pa pum
Our finest gifts we bring
Pa ra pa pa pum
To lay before the King
Pa ra pa pa pum,
Ra pa pa pum,
Ra pa pa pum
So to honour Him
Pa ra pa pa pum
When we come.

2. Little baby
Pa ra pa pa pum
I am a poor boy too
Pa ra pa pa pum
I have no gift to bring
Pa ra pa pa pum
That's fit to give our King
Pa ra pa pa pum,
Ra pa pa pum,
Ra pa pa pum
Shall I play for you
Pa ra pa pa pum
On my drum.

3. Mary nodded
Pa ra pa pa pum
The ox and lamb kept time
Pa ra pa pa pum
I played my drum for Him
Pa ra pa pa pum
I played my best for Him
Pa ra pa pa pum,
Ra pa pa pum,
Ra pa pa pum
Then He smiled at me
Pa ra pa pa pum
Me and my drum.
