Medley:Jolly Old St. Nicholas / The Little Drummer Boy Songtext
von The Ray Conniff Singers

Jolly old St. Nicholas
Lean your ear this way
Don′t you tell a single soul
What I'm gonna say

Christmas Eve is coming soon
Now, you dear old man
Whisper what you′ll bring to me
Tell me if you can

When the clock is striking twelve
And I'm sound asleep
Down the chimney broad and black
With your pack you'll creep

All the stockings you will find
Hanging in a row
Mine will be the shortest one
You′ll be sure to know
Ahh, ahh


Johnny wants a pair of skates
Suzy wants a sled
Nelly wants a picture book
Yellow, blue, and red

Now I think I′ll leave to you
What to give the rest
But give little Billy a drum this year
(Drum this year)
'Cause that′s what he likes best

Come, they told me, pa-rum pum pum pum
Our newborn 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

Baby Jesu, pa-rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa-rum pum pum pum
I have no gifts 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
