Little Drummer Boy

(Katherine Davis - Henri Onerati - Harry Simeone)



Come they told me

Ra-pa-pam-pam

our newborn King to see

Ra-pa-pam-pam.



Our finest gifts we bring

Ra-pa-pam-pam

To lay before the King

Ra-pa-pam-pam.



Ra-pa-pam-pam

Ra-pa-pam-pam

So to honor him

Ra-pa-pam-pam

When we come.

Baby Jesus

Ra-pa-pam-pam

I am a poor boy too

Ra-pa-pam-pam.



I have no gift to bring

Ra-pa-pam-pam

That's fit to give a King

Ra-pa-pam-pam.



Ra-pa-pam-pam

Ra-pa-pam-pam

Shall I play for you

Ra-pa-pam-pam

On my drum.



Mother Marry nodded

Ra-pa-pam-pam

The ox and lamb kept time

Ra-pa-pam-pam.



I played my drum for him

Ra-pa-pam-pam

I played my best for him

Ra-pa-pam-pam.



Ra-pa-pam-pam

Ra-pa-pam-pam

Then he smiled at me

Ra-pa-pam-pam

Me and my drum...
