Ringo Starr - The Little Drummer Boy lyrics

The Little Drummer Boy

Ringo Starr

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

A new born 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.

Little baby, pa-rum pum-pum-pum,

I'm a poor boy too, pa-rum pum-pum-pum,

I have no gift 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.
