the newborn King you'll see, pa-romp-pa-pom-pom.
Our finest gifts we bring, pa-romp-pa-pom-pom,
to lay before the King, pa-romp-pa-pom-pom,
pa-romp-pa-pom-pom, pa-romp-pa-pom-pom,
so to honor him, pa-romp-pa-pom-pom, when we come.
Little baby, pa-romp-pa-pom-pom,
I am a poor boy too, pa-romp-pa-pom-pom,
I have no gift to bring, pa-romp-pa-pom-pom,
that fit to give our King, pa-romp-pa-pom-pom,
pa-romp-pa-pom-pom, pa-romp-pa-pom-pom,
so to honor him, pa-romp-pa-pom-pom, I'll play my drum.
Come, they....
Little baby....
Little Drummer Boy - New Kids On The Block
New Kids On The Block's 1989 cover of 'Little Drummer Boy' stands as a defining moment in their transition from boy band to pop rock act. Originally a traditional carol, the track was reimagined with a driving rock rhythm and a distinct vocal arrangement that highlighted the group's harmonies and stage presence. Released during their peak commercial success, the recording captured the band's evolving sound, blending holiday cheer with the energetic style that characterized their later albums. The song became a staple of their holiday repertoire, demonstrating their ability to reinterpret classic material for a modern audience while maintaining the festive spirit of the original composition.
