Kom, sa de til meg, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
En nyfødt konge å se, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Våre fineste gaver kommer vi med, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Å ligge foran kongen, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum,
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum,
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum,
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
(Vers 2)
Lille baby, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum,
Jeg er også en fattig gutt, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Jeg har ingen gave å ta med, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Det passer å gi kongen, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum,
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum,
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
(Vers 3)
Skal jeg spille for deg, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
På trommelen min, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum ?
Mary nikket, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum,
Oksen og lammet holdt tid, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
(Vers 4)
Jeg spilte tromme for Ham, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Jeg spilte mitt beste for ham, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Så smilte Han til meg, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Jeg og trommelen min, Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum,
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum,
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum,
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
