Come, they told me, pa-ra-pa-pam-pam, A newborn king to see, pa-ra-pa-pam-pam, Our finest gifts we'll bring, pa-ra-pa-pam-pam, To lay before the king, pa-ra-pa-pam-pam, ra-pa-pam-pam, ra-pa-pam-pam, So to honor him, pa-ra-pa-pam-pam, when we go. Little baby, pa-ra-pa-pam-pam, I am a poor girl too, pa-ra-pa-pam-pam, I have no gifts to bring, pa-ra-pa-pam-pam, That is to give the king, pa-ra-pa-pam-pam, ra-pa-pam-pam, ra-pa-pam-pam, Shall I play for you, pa-ra-pa-pam-pam, All my time? Pa-ra-pa-pam-pam, ra-pa-pam-pam, ra-pa-pam-pam, Mary nodded, pa-ra-pa-pam-pam, The ox and lamb kept time, pa-ra-pa-pam-pam, I played my drum for him, pa-ra-pa-pam-pam, I played my best for him, pa-ra-pa-pam-pam, ra-pa-pam-pam, ra-pa-pam-pam, Then he smiled at me, pa-ra-pa-pam-pam, Me and my drum. © transcript Emily Beynon
