Joan Jett And The Blackhearts - Little Drummer Boy Lyrics






Come, they told me, pa rum pa pum pum
A newborn king to see, pa rum pa pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pa pum pum
To lay before the king, pa rum pa pum pum
Rum a pum pum, rum pa pum pum
So to honor him, pa rum pa pum pum
When we come

Baby Jesus, pa rum pa pum pum
I am a poor boy, too, pa rum pa pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pa pum pum
That's fit to give a king, pa rum pa pum pum
Rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum
Shall I play for you, pa rum pa pum pum
On my drum

Yoi da adash, pa rum pa pum pum
The ass and lamb kept time, pa rum pa pum pum
I played my drum for him, pa rum pa pum pum
I played my best for him, pa rum pa pum pum
Rum pa pum pum rum pa pum pum
Then he smiled at me pa rum pa pum pum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum

  61. M.... A....

    RAMRAPMRAPRAMRAPRMARPRAMSDKLJASDPJO

  62. K.... T....

    I heard this in one of those 80's movies. Love this cover.

  63. M.... T....

    I've always liked this cover, very rockin'! I've always wondered if she was inspired to cover this just to put a rockin' twist on a classic or if she wished to honor our Savior in her own way. Some of both I hope! Can't help but think Jesus digs it as well!

  64. J.... A....

    Absolute best version of this tune!!!

  65. V.... H....

    Every year you rock me with this awesome drummer song. 🎄

  66. R.... L....

    Great version by the sexy Joan Jett and the black hearts

    Super muza....polecam

  71. B.... W....

    Best version little drummer boy

    B.... W....

    Bob Seger’s version is Christmas

    B.... W....

    jars of clay best version ive heard

    B.... W....

    I think bad religion version is better

    B.... W....

    Timothy Mostad I cry every time I hear this too. I'll use my teeth to tear the throat out of anyone who gives me a hard time about my weeping. Have a merry Christmas!

    B.... W....

    @GASPAR1414 This version by Joan, the one by the Cranberries, Jimi Hendrix and also by Bob Seger, are all excellent rock versions of this Christmas season classic. However my personal favorite will always be the duet version sung by Bowie and Bing Crosby. Not a knock guys against Joan Jett as this is probably my 2nd favorite version. Merry Christmas to all celebrating here in 2019 and beyond.

  72. E.... K....

    Best Christmas cover ever.

  73. r.... ....

    best hard rock Christmas tune

  74. L.... ....

    Don't know why a quality act like Joan Jett can't play more than three chords. Could do heaps with a rock version of this classic. Wish the Ramones did a version.

  75. R.... ....

    this kicks ass!
    great recording...

  76. q.... ....

    love her!

  77. L.... S....

    NAILED IT!

  78. J.... O....

    WHAT A FANTASTIC RENDITION!😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

  79. A.... S....

    Yeah And she's still HOT!

    A.... S....

    alas, she "plays for the other team". Which is alright.

  80. M.... ....

    Punk Christmas!

  81. S.... B....

    Joan sings it like she feels it. I can see the baby Jesus rocking out to this. I sure am.

    S.... B....

    Stephanie B she didn't sing Jesus though

    S.... B....

    That is nowhere in the lyrics. It is clear who she is singing about. Read the lyrics so you don't look so asinine next time.

    S.... B....

    The song is about the baby Jesus, you dumb ass.

    S.... B....

    It is about the baby Yeshua , You dumb ass. They spoke Hebrew not English. No one at that time was called Jesus.

    S.... B....

    Now kiddies, you all agree....so don't fight and take some Hersey kissies

  82. T.... ....

    Christmas songs always make me wanna O.D. on Ex-lax.

  83. B.... M....

    Really good version of Little drummer boy!

  84. f.... ....

    The lyrics in the description are wrong. It's not "Jesus". It's "Yehsus".

    f.... ....

    +ft55555 It's just a different pronunciation of "Jesus". Latin pronunciation of J sounds like a Y. Spin Doctors do the same thing in Cleopatra's Favourite Cat. "Jesu Christi Domine, et tu Brute" = Lord Jesus Christ! You too, Brutus?

    f.... ....

    +ft55555 The Hebrews ran around (and still do) calling Him Jeshua (Yeshua).

    f.... ....

    +ft55555
    But she says Yehsus

    f.... ....

    The Oldest versions of the Bible are in Greek. Jewish people do not believe in Jesus. You can speculate all you want but the best translation is GEESUS. The Spanish HEYSUES was a Spanish pronunciation of an English word. (What if it was the Spanish word Gallegos and all of us English Speaking folk said "Gally GOES" not "GUY A GOOS:). Seriously FOLKS!!! Write your own song calling Jesus "Fred", "Mohamad", "Sally" or what ever you want.. this is the song "Little Drummer Boy"; it was written in English, for English Speaking People. Not "North Korean.. where Kim Jon Un.. is GOD ON EARTH". Go write your own songs for that. Actually why don't you go and create a God Called Xenu or Xemu, (and create some conflict about the real name), you can then get your believers to confess their darkest secrets.... then you can black Mail them into turning over most of their money to your religion...) Oh, sorry that has already happened, it is the church of scientology. Maybe all you true believers can write your own version of "Little Drummer Boy".. that debates "Xenu" VS "XEMU". How about the rest of us who have been listening to the original version of this song... (Written for English Speaking Christians... who believe in Jesus... ), just move on and continue to listen to this song and every other Christmas song... like "Have a holly Jolly Christmas".                                       Seriously this song was written by the family depicted on "The Sound of Music".. and your trying to Rewrite history and say that when they wrote this song they meant to call Jesus.. "Billy Bob" or What Ever??? and that their lyrics were all BS until this Youtube Post of a Joan Jett Video???                                           Some groups in India think Jesus was the Yogi Master ISTU... (istooo), Should all of mankind be required to call him that?? or The Nazis felt he was a Representative of the Evil "Rat People" who leach off all other Humans and need to be dealt with via "The Final Solution">>> ie Death Camps..                                        My Point is .. European People, (other than Spain), call him Jesus. The original version of this song uses the term Jesus. Non Believers have no "Skin in the game" other than to discredit him. Joan is calling him something else in this song, (but us believers appreciate the Christmas/Christian Effort). People who don't even believe he existed are the ones who are trying to redefine/rename him.

    f.... ....

    Fuck off you stupid boy...

  85. E.... B....

    I LOVE this!

  86. V.... ....

    Pa-RRRRa-pam-pam.

    V.... ....

    Her voice I love her she's hot.

  87. J.... B....

    She looked a bit like Johnny Thunders and then the fabulous and still sadly missed Richie Edwards took the look.

  88. D.... W....

    Best xmas gift- her going into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015. ABOUT DAMN TIME TOO!

  89. L.... W....

    She helped me make it through my teens. LOL

  92. D.... D....

    best  Christmas  ever............

  93. T.... K....

    Besides being a great version, she does a nice job of trilling her --   r's ----- ..

    T.... K....

    Very true. She is so under-rated.

    T.... K....

    Makes me want to trill her R's for her.

    T.... K....

    @Kenneth John Odle How is Joan Jett underrated? Impossible. Known the world over.

    T.... K....

    her r's always looked fine in those.

  94. r.... v....

    Xmas year round.
