Baby jesus, pa-rum pum pum pum I'm a poor boy too, pa-rum pum pum pum I have no gift to bring, pa-rum pum pum pum That's fit to give our king, pa-rum pum pum pum Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Shall I play for you, pa-rum pum pum pum On my drum
Mary nodded, pa-rum pum pum pum The ox and mule kept time, pa-rum pum pum pum I played my drum for him, pa-rum pum pum pum I played my best for him, pa-rum pum pum pum Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum Then he smiled at me, pa-rum pum pum pum, Me and my drum.
