Josh Groban - 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 pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum
So to honor Him, pa rum pa pum pum
When we come

Little baby, 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 our 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
On my drum

I play my drum for Him
So to honor Him

Mary nodded, pa rum pa pum pum
The ox 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
When we come

Me and my drum

    I love this song but it brings a tear to my eye when I heard it , it reminds me of the horrible murder of Lesley ann Downey it was played as she was murdered by fred west in the uk . god rest her little soul R.I.P Lesley 💗

  2. E.... E....

    Nie spieszysz się na wesele?

  3. j.... ....

  4. G.... D....

    I'm going to Scotland song and there are bagpipes in this and now I'm sooo excited.

  5. C.... D....

    Josh Grobans voice is heavenly

  6. H.... B....

    This is my grandma's favorite album josh groban Noel the drummer boy. This song of josh groban sings the little drummer boy is one of my favorite Christmas songs.

  12. C.... M....

    WHAT A VOICE - AMAZING - BRILLIANT.

  13. C.... ....

    The deep meaning behind this was that the boy had a snare drum. A normal baby would cry or be scared of a snare drum blasting. But Jesus smiled at the drum playing. It shows you he really was the Son of God.

  14. J.... H....

    This has been my favorit song since I was a kid.

  15. B.... A....

    December 1974: On a winter's day, I was traveling to Montana from Pennsylvania. I was leaving a town I loved (Ephrata) to move to Iowa for college, but first would visit Mom and Dad in Montana. I was sad and depressed. Worse, I got lost in Harrisburg. I stopped at a Burger King for coffee and to study my route better. This song came on the PA system. I suddenly felt better and was lifted out of my self-pity. The rest of the trip was bliss!

  16. N.... M....

  68. M.... R....

    This is one of my favorite Christmas songs. Josh Groban has an amazing beautiful voice. I love his version of The Little Drummer Boy.

  69. N.... ....

    Have this album and I highly recommend it .

  70. K.... H....

    I found out last year that THIS is my favorite Christmas Carol, hands down. Always and forevermore. Josh's version is my favorite, but I also like hearing this carol played on a hammered dulcimer. But Josh's rendition has SO many great things going on musically; guitars, drums, harmonies, pipes... It's like an "all in one" package! I absolutely DIE every time I hear the pipes come in. THIS is real music! Josh is such a phenomenal musician, and I've loved his work for quite some time now! All the way back to the self-titled album to "Closer," to "Live at the Greek..." "Awake," was phenomenal. Went to see him live in NC a while back, and his concert was SO AMAZING. It's really hard to pick a favorite album of his, because his work is SOLID all the way around, no matter WHAT he puts on the shelf. I know I'm going on and on, but seriously... Bravo, Josh. You're SO AWESOME!

    K.... H....

    My favorite Christmas song is O Holy Night. Josh's version is the best, imo. But I also love this song.

  71. n.... ....

    casually listen to this year round bc his voice hits me on a spiritual level, especially when you add bag pipes.

    n.... ....

    Everything is better when you add bagpipes!

  72. M.... R....

    Bagpipes are such wonderfull instruments.

    E.... C....

    E.... C....

    E.... C....

    +Zmehra Ahmde not sure if you're just kidding or plain stupid

  87. S.... ....

    My goodness I can't fathom how David Foster let this recording get released with that noticeable digital artifact (clicking) every 2 seconds. I couldn't enjoy the song because of it being there from start to the end of the song.

    S.... ....

    Sirynx77 its drumming....duh

  88. K.... M....

    I wish I could sing, but very time I do people start throwing rocks at me

  89. C.... K....

    I agree

  90. K.... M....

    BEST VERSION I HAVE EVER HEARD

    K.... M....

    +Karl Maier I agree... I normally wouldn't listen to this song because it has been sung so many times... but this version is truly wonderful.

    K.... M....

    K.... M....

    +Elvis Yeboah Will do .............. Love your first NAME
