Come they told me, parapapampam
A new born King to see, parapapampam
Our finest gifts we'll bring, parapapampam
To lay before the king, parapapampam, rapapampam, rapapampam
So to honour him, parapapampam
When we come
Little baby, parapapampam
I am a poor girl too, parapapampam
I have no gifts to bring, parapapampam
That fit to give the king, parapapampam, rapapampam, rapapampam
Shall I play for you, parapapampam
On my drum?
Rum-pam, rapapampam
Rum-pam, rapapampam
Mary nodded, parapapampam
The Ox and lend kept time, parapapampam
I played my drum for him, parapapampam
I played my best for him, parapapampam, rapapampam, rapapampam
Then he smiled at me, parapapampam
Me and my drum
Rum-pam, rapapampam
Rum-pam, rapapampam
Rum-pam, rapapampam
Rum-pam, rapapampam
