Come, they told me, pa rum pa pum pum
  A newborn king to see, pa rum pa pum pum
  Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pa pum pum
  To lay before the king, pa rum pa pum pum
  Rum a pum pum, rum pa pum pum
  So to honor him, pa rum pa pum pum
  When we come
  
  Little baby, pa rum pa pum pum
  I am a poor boy, too, pa rum pa pum pum
  I have no gift to bring, pa rum pa pum pum
  That's fit to give a king, 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
  
  Yoi da adash, pa rum pa pum pum
  The ass and lamb kept time, pa rum pa pum pum
  I played my drum for him, pa rum pa pum pum
  I played my best for him, pa rum pa pum pum
  Rum pa pum pum rum pa pum pum
  Then he smiled at me pa rum pa pum pum
  Me and my drum
