Lyrics:

(K. Daris, H. Onoratti, H. Simeone) [Recorded June 16, 1964, Los Angeles] Come they told me (pa-rum pum pum pum) A newborn King to see (pa-rum pum pum pum) Our finest gifts we bring pa-rum pum pum pum To lay before the King So to honor Him (pa-rum pum pum pum) when we come Little Baby (pa-rum pum pum pum) I am 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 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 Then He smiled at me (pa-rum pum pum pum) Me and my drum
