Oh,

There's a new born king to see,
pa rum pum pum pum
The finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the king,
pa rum pum pum pum
Oh, 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,
pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum When we come
When we come
Oh, Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum
I stayed the ox and the lamb kept time, pa
Then
he smiled at me,
pa rum pum pum pum Me and my drum
He smiled at me and my drum
So I started to play for him
Rum pum pum pum pum,
pum pum pum pum,
pum pum pum pum, pum pum pum pum
Oh, while the ox and the lamb kept time,
kept time to the drums
