Lyrics Kim Burrell – Little Drummer Boy

Text:

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 honour Him, pa rum pum pum pum

Me and my drum, can I play
Little Drummer Boy play your drum for the King
Play your drum little baby

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

Me and my drum, play little boy
Tell me can I play for you?
I’m wonderin’ can I play my drum for you?
Play your 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
When I played my drum
I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Listen to me play for my King

Can I play for You
Play my best for You
Pa rum pum pum pum
I don’t have much to give
But can I play for You

Play my best for You
Pa rum pum pum pum
I stand before You with my drum

Can I play for You
Play my best for You
Pa rum pum pum pum
Wonder can I play my best
Can I play for You
Play my best for You
Pa rum pum pum pum
Your drum may be Your praise

Can I play for You
Play my best for You
Wanna play my drum
Pa rum pum pum pum
Can I play for You
Play my best for You
Pa rum pum pum pum
Can I play

Can I play for You
Play my best for You
Pa rum pum pum pum
The gift that I have I bring to You
Can I play for You
Play my best for You
Pa rum pum pum pum
Wanna play my beat

My beat says praise
When I play for you
My beat says honor
My beat says glory
Pa rum pum pum pum
Somebody help me play for the King

My beat says praise
When I play I use my gift for You
My beat says honor
My beat says glory
I wanna play for the King
Pa rum pum pum pum

My beat says praise
When I play for you my hands are raised
My beat says honor
My beat says glory
Pa rum pum pum pum

Do you best for Him
Play your drum
