Jolly old St Nicholas

Lean your ear this way

Don't you tell a single soul

What I'm gonna say

Christmas Eve is coming soon

Now you dear old man

Whisper what you'll bring to me

Tell me if you can

When the clock is striking twelve

And I'm sound asleep

Down the chimney broad and black

With your pack you'll creep

All the stockings you will find

Hanging in a row

Mine will be the shortest one

You'll be sure to know

Johnny wants a pair of skates

Suzy wants a sled

Nellie wants a picture book

Yellow blue and red

Now I think I'll leave to you

What you give the rest

But give little billy a drum this year a drum this year

Cause that's what he likes best

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

Baby Jesus

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 our 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
