about
A poor boy wishes to bring an extravagant gift to Jesus, but all he has is his music. And it is enough. Enjoy this Christmas carol and one of my childhood favorites.
lyrics
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, 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
Baby Jesus, 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 the 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
