Lyrics

[Intro]
This record is for all the kids out there
Who dream of a life better than the one they're living now
May God grant you the strength to know it gets better as you go on
Gotta believe in yourself and know that life is a great thing
Cherish it and you and God
Stay positive
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Uh
Yeah, uh
[Verse 1]
Come, they told me
Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom
The newborn king, you'll see
Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom
Our finest gifts, you bring
Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom
To lay before the king
Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom
Romp-pa-pom-pom
Romp-pa-pom-pom-pom-pom-pom-pom-pom-pom-pom-pom
So to honor him
Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom
So to honor him
When we come
[Verse 2]
Baby Jesus, oh
Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom
I am a poor boy too
Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom
I have no gift to bring
Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom
That's fit to give a king
Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom
Romp-pa-pom-pom
Romp-pa-pom-pom-pom-pom
Shall I play for you?
Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom
Shall I play for you?
Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom
Shall I play for you
On my drum? On my drum, on my drum
Shall I play for you
On my drum?
[Verse 3]
Mary nodded, Mary nodded
Pa-rumpa-pom-pom
The ox and lamb kept time, yeah
Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom
I played my drum for him
Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom
I played my best for him
Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom
Romp-pa-pom-pom
Romp-pa-pom-pom
Then he smiled at me
Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom
Then he smiled at me
And my drum
[Outro]
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
Me and my drum, yeah
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
On my drum
