Little Drummer Boy Song 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
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
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
Me and my drum
Me and my drum

Little Drummer Boy Song Meaning:

Listening to Carrie Underwood’s rendition of The Little Drummer Boy will melt anyone’s heart, as she included her oldest son, Isaiah. The Little Drummer Boy is a classic Christmas song, chronicling the journey of a young boy who was summoned to the nativity to visit the newborn King. The little boy had nothing to give to the infant, so he played his drum for Jesus. The song was originally titled “Carol of the Drum”.
