Ringo Starr - The 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, rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum.
So to honor him, pa-rum pum-pum-pum, when we come.

Little baby, pa-rum pum-pum-pum,
I'm 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.

  29. I.... ....

    And maybe Ringo should do a carol gig with this song with a snare drum, he was the little drummer boy after all.

  30. I.... ....

    @kentaappel Back Off Boogaloo is one of my fave drumming EVER. Its tough on drums. I think Ringo can't play this good whilst he is singing at the same time. He has to sit down and play the drums wearing a headset and sing the vocals on a separate track. Ringo does better on drums when he's not the one singing at the same time or if he has to sing on another track. But yeah, great drumming by Ringo Starr as he did put a star on this classic Christmas song with a dose of Rock 'n Roll.

  31. d.... ....

    Notice how the intro is similar to Back Off Boogaloo? Great version of this song.

  32. S.... S....

    Ringo is the best little drummer boy!

  33. K.... A....

    The drumming on this is similar to Ringo's playing on his song Back off Boogaloo. It is nice to hear Ringo playing a little more aggressively than he has for quite a while now as in recent years, especially in the All Starr tours, he often plays just the beat.

    But he really shines when he steps out of he confort zone as he did hear on this track.

  34. S.... ....

    Ringo does a great job with this song! Merry Christmas :)

  35. h.... ....

    Is this song really 10 years old?
    Happy Christmas 2009!

    h.... ....

    It's almost 20 years now

    Happy Christmas 2018. 🎄🎄⛄

  36. M.... ....

    My favorite version of my favorite Christmas song. Ringo makes this song rock!

    Thanks for the all the music Ringo and thank you piggies1 for posting it. I have had a hard time finding it on Youtube.

  37. L.... ....

    Great tune, thanks for posting it and thanks Ringo.
