Preface
The Christmas carol speaks of how a meager young boy was beckoned by one of the three kings to accompany them in the journey to Bethlehem to pay homage to the new born king. Because he had no gift to offer, this boy opted to play his drum as an offering, which pleased the Blessed Mother Mary a lot.
History of Little Drummer Boy
Previously referred to as The Carol of the Drum, The Little Drummer Boy is an all-time-cherished Christmas song known by many people across the world because of the subtle message it brings about thanksgiving. Although there is a small dispute whether Jack Halloran was the original composer of the song, Katherine Davis is widely accepted to have been this song’s creator. This was written during the 1940’s and was first made famous by the Trapp Family Singers during the 1950’s. A rendition by the Harry Simeone Chorale only made this song even more familiar to listeners’ ears.

Little Drummer Boy Lyrics
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,

So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
When we come.
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,
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.
