"Come", they told me,
Parapapapum,
"A new born king to see"
Parapapapum,
"Our finest gifts we bring",
Parapapapum,
"To lay before the King",
Parapapapum, (Rapapapum X2)
"So to honour Him", Parapapapum,
"When we come",
"Baby Jesus, Parapapapum,
I am a poor boy too, Parapapapum,
I have no gift to bring, Parapapapum,
That's fit to give a King, Parapapapum,
(Rapapapum X2)
Shall I play for you, Parapapapum,
On My Drum ?"
Mary nodded, Parapapapum,
The ox and mule kept time,
Parapapapum,
I played the drum for him,
Parapapapum,
I played my best for him, Parapapapum,
(Rapapapum X2)
Then He smiled at me, Parapapapum,
Me and My drum.
