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.
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 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.
 
歌詞大意：
他們傳話來，
國王新誕生，
帶上最好的禮物去朝拜他。
親愛小寶貝，
我是窮孩子，
我沒有拿得出手的禮物獻給國王，
我可以為你敲鼓嗎？
聖母瑪麗點頭了，
牛們羊們跟上節奏了，
我盡心盡力為他敲鼓，
他對我笑了，
他對和我的鼓笑了。
