"Little Drummer Boy"

[Intro:]
See, I wanna do this how I remember my grandmother
And her brothers and sisters [?] at home, how they used to do it
Let me try to show you
Here it go, right here

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 (Oh)

(Ooh) Little Baby, pa-rum, pum-pum-pum
(Ooh) I am a poor boy too, pa-rum, pum-pum-pum
(Ooh) I have no gift to bring, pa-rum, pum-pum-pum
(Ooh) That's fit to give a King, pa-rum, pum-pum-pum
(Ooh) Rum-pum-pum-pum
(Ooh) Rum-pum-pum-pum
(Ooh) Shall I play for you? Pa-rum, pum-pum-pum
On my drums

Mary nodded, pa-rum, pum-pum-pum (Mmm, mmm)
The ox and lamb kept time, pa-rum, pum-pum-pum
(I played my drum) I played my drum for Him, pa-rum, pum-pum-pum
And I played my best (I played my best for Him, pa-rum, pum-pum-pum)
(Rum) Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum
Then He smiled at me, pa-rum, pum-pum-pum
Me and my drum

[Chorus:]
Me and my drum (Oh, hey-hey-hey, oh, now)
Me and my drum (Anybody, anybody know Him now? Anybody? Oh, Lord)
Me and my drum (Then they'd march on out just like this too, y'all, hey)
Me and my drum (Hey, Lord, Lord, Lord, I'd like to tell you)
Me and my drum (Good God almighty, now, ooh, yeah, mhm)
Me and my drum (Drum, drum, hey-oh, yeah)
Me and my drum (Y'all gon' make me happy in here now-now-now, oh)
Me and my drum (Let me get some of that, oh, woo, yeah, yeah)
Me and my drum (Yeah)

[Outro:]
My drum, my drum
I'm still singin', child, woo
That got ahold of my spirit
That's how Judy K used to do it
I'm Jenny K
