The Little Drummer Boy Songtext
von Ringo Starr

By Harry Simeone, Henry V. Onorati and Katherine K. Davis

COME THEY TOLD ME, PA-RUM PUM-PUM-PUM,
A NEW BORN KING TO SEE, PA-RUM PUM-PUM-PUM,
OUR FINEST GIFTS WE BRING, PA-RUM PUM-PUM-PUM
TO LAY BEFORE THE KING, PA-RUM PUM-PUM-PUM, RUM-PUM-PUM-PUM, RUM-PUM-PUM-PUM.
SO TO HONOR HIM, PA-RUM PUM-PUM-PUM, WHEN WE COME.


LITTLE BABY, 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 LAMB 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.
