The Little Drummer Boy

(album: The 4 Seasons Greetings - 1962)

Come they told me, pa ra pa pum pum
A newborn King to see, pa ra pa pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa ra pa pum pum
To lay before the King, pa ra pa pum pum
Ra pa pum pum, ra pa pum pum
So to honor him, pa ra pa pum pum, when we come

Little Jesus, pa ra pa pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa ra pa pum pum
I have no gifts to bring, pa ra pa pum pum
That's fit to give a King, pa ra pa pum pum
Ra pa pum pum, ra pa pam pam
Shall I play for you, pa ra pa pum pum, on my drum

Mary nodded, pa ra pa pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa ra pa pum pum
I played my drum for him, pa ra pa pum pum
I played my best for him, pa ra pa pum pum
Ra pa pum pum, ra pa pum pum
Then he smiled at me, pa ra pa pum pum, me and my drum
