Lyrics:

By Harry Simeone, Henry V. Onorati and Katherine K. Davis 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.
