Lyrics of The Little Drummer Boy - Annie Haslam

The Little Drummer Boy (original)

Rum bu bu bum, Rum bu bu bum
So to honor him (ba rum bu bu bum)
When we come
Little baby (ba rum bu bu bum)
I am a poor boy too (ba rum bu bu bum)
I have no gift to bring (ba rum bu bu bum)
That’s fit to give a king (ba rum bu bu bum)
Shall I play for you (ba rum bu bu bum)
On my drum
Then he nodded (ba rum bu bu bum)
kept time
I played my drum for him (ba rum bu bu bum)
I played my best for him (ba rum bu bu bum)
Rum bu bu bum Rum bu bu bum
Then he smiled at me (ba rum bu bu bum)
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum

(translation)

Rum this this boom, Rum this this boom
So to honor him (ba rum bu bum)
When we come
Little baby (ba rum this this boom)
I am a poor boy too (ba rum this this boom)
I have no gift to bring (ba rum this this boom)
That's fit to give a king (ba rum this this boom)
Shall I play for you (ba rum this this boom)
On my drum
Then he nodded (ba rum this this boom)
kept time
I played my drum for him (ba rum bu this boom)
I played my best for him (ba rum bu this bum)
Rum this this Boom Rum this this boom
Then he smiled at me (ba rum this this boom)
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
