Little Drummer Boy Songtext
von The Tin Lids

There once was a little boy
A very poor boy
Who only had one toy
A little drum
That he liked to play as much as he could

One day he was told that a king was born
People were bringing him gifts
From all over the land
Seeing as the little boy could not afford any presents
He asked the baby′s mother if he could play his drum
She said "Yes"
And he played his little heart out
The baby smiled
He was so happy with this gift

If, above all, you can give happiness
Then you too can share the spirit of Christmas


Come they told me
Pa, rum, pum, pum, pum
A new born 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 gifts to bring
Pa, rum, pum, pum, pum
That's fit to give a 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
