Seger, Bob - Little Drummer Boy Lyrics






Come they told me (ba rum bu bu bum)
A new born king to see (ba rum bu bu bum)
Our finest gifts we bring (ba rum bu bu bum)
To set before the king (ba rum bu bu bum)
Rum bu bu bum, Rum bu bu bum
So to honor him (ba rum bu bu bum)
When we come

Little baby (ba rum bu bu bum)
I am a poor boy too (ba rum bu bu bum)
I have no gift to bring (ba rum bu bu bum)
That's fit to give a king (ba rum bu bu bum)

Shall I play for you (ba rum bu bu bum)
On my drum
Then he nodded (ba rum bu bu bum)
The Ox and Lamb kept time (ba rum bu bu bum)
I played my drum for him (ba rum bu bu bum)
I played my best for him (ba rum bu bu bum)
Rum bu bu bum Rum bu bu bum
Then he smiled at me (ba rum bu bu bum)

Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum

  41. D.... G....

    Thank you, Bob Seger, for the finest version of my favorite Christmas song!

  42. M.... ....

    Christmas 2019 and I am here again. Best version ever.

  43. P.... M....

    Mr. Seger ..... You rock ...... Merry Christmas
    2019! ......

  44. J.... a....

    About two tours ago I was lucky to see Bob and Co at the Garden. It’s was a few days before Christmas. I always loved his version of this song but never in a million years thought he’d played this. Amazing.

  45. J.... M....

    Just totally wonderful! Thank you Bob Seger. Good job. Great job. Merry Christmas!

  46. D.... 1....

    To me, when it comes to "The Little Drummer Boy", if it's not Bob Seger, it's not worth listening to.

  47. T.... ....

    I have never really cared for this song, but oddly enough, Bullet Bob’s version is one of my overall favorite Christmas songs.

  48. W.... B....

    Yeah seger

  49. D.... M....

    Love this guy to no end, just don't care for this version. Nothing against him.

  50. D.... K....

    Hands down a Master piece sung by Bob Seger! Listening December 20 2019!!

    D.... K....

    My daughter's favorite Christmas song - one of mine too!

    D.... K....

    Dec 22, 2019. 🎄

    D.... K....

    Me too!

  51. H.... ....

    Because of Luka Magnotta, I can't listen to this song without thinking of his act of evil.

  52. L.... F....

    Rub my bum bum!!

  53. F.... D....

    Gives me chills when I hear Bob sing this

  54. L.... K....

    The Best version by far.!!!

  55. j.... ....

    Wow this s so moving and powerful, it really defines Christmas, I thought Bing and Bowie was good but Bob's is a tad bit better.

    j.... ....

    Agreed it's the best

  56. N.... B....

    115 dislikes? Bah, you humbugs! Oh wait, is it perhaps because it is a song about the Star-breathing Creator of everything who came to the earth to lay His life down for you and me? Perhaps that is it? Well, ya can't change history. Jesus did come to the earth. He loves us all so much that He left His rightful place in Heaven to become human and then lay down His life to save us from the messes that we are. That is the Christmas story right there. So, Merry Christmas to all. Even those who disliked this amazing version of The Little Drummer Boy.

  57. w.... ....

    My favorite Chrsitmas song and my favorite version

  58. P.... P....

    The Spirit is in Bob when he is singing this song (my favorite Christmas Carol). I'm always in tears by the time the line "then He smiled at me". Merry Christmas to everyone out there reading this in 12/2019!!! 🙂🙂 🐧🐧

  59. 4.... r....

    Playing this song on my way home after Christmas shopping MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

  60. K.... P....

    4th best Christmas song ever.

  61. O.... U....

    Still so powerful Bob !!!

    Well at least we know there is 103 idiots on the planet

  64. M.... ....

    Merry Christmas to all.

  65. c.... k....

  66. B.... G....

    PURE GOLD !!

  67. T.... B....

    the best xmas song.......😀

  68. L.... C....

  70. S.... ....

    I agree. Best version ever.

  71. R.... M....

    A Classic Merry Christmas .

  72. G.... t....

    Bob would be one of a few choicen to play for the King,call it what you want but what's being produced today ain't worthy of listening to

  73. B.... T....

    This is a jam.

  74. M.... S....

    I was 13 or 14 when I first heard this song... on a public radio in India. Since I did not hear the announcer introducing this song, I did not find out who sang it. All I knew was that I wanted to hear it again... but the song was never repeated. I searched for this song for many years, and came across many other renditions of this song. But none were equivalent to this masterpiece from Bob Seger. Finally, after about 30 years, Youtube came to the rescue. I finally discovered Bob Seger!
    Even after all these years, when I hear this version of the Little Drummer Boy, I am overcome by emotions... Seger transports me to another time and place... where I am the Little Drummer Boy, giving my all! Seger’s voice, brimming with emotion, has a magical way to evoke the strongest, best memories in the rest of us.
    Thank you for uploading this song. Merry Christmas!

  75. M.... B....

    Merry Christmas 2019 Everyone

    M.... B....

    Merry Christmas 🎄

    M.... B....

    I post this video to FB every year! It's the only one I share because it's the absolute best version of it I have ever heard!

    M.... B....

    Merry Christmas to all and to all a good-night peace on Earth

    M.... B....

    Merry Christmas, but OP should jump off a bridge.

  76. C.... ....

    This is my favorite Christmas song ever.

  77. p.... o....

    Dont stress out about material possessions over Christmas. The poor little drummer boy gave the baby Jesus Christ the greatest gift of all. His talent of music.

  78. B.... V....

    This version is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!!

  79. k.... p....

    Bob Seger is the all time legend

  80. K.... B....

    Bob seger sings this the best...

  81. T.... B....

    How in the hell did I get here?

  82. B.... G....

    "And then he smiled at me".....

    Praise to the King of Kings, Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ....

    B.... G....

    na man.

    B.... G....

    I'm always in tears by the time that line is sung!!! I hope that you have a wonderful and blessed day my friend and a very Merry Christmas!!! 🙂🙂 🐧🐧

    B.... G....

    Amen 🙏

  83. D.... M....

    Bob Segar does this one so awesome but of course all of his music is excellent. He's been my favorite since I can remember.

  84. J.... J....

    Nice job Bob

  85. L.... C....

    Christmas is lovely time of year

  86. s.... w....

    Love Bob Seger's version the best. Love the saxophone

  87. D.... M....

    The greatest version of the greatest Christmas song of them all.

  88. t.... b....

    The greatest rendition in the world, by far.....

  89. J.... E....

    Seger. Detroit. The late '80s resurgence and comeback of that area after hard times in the '60s and '70s. This song, along with "Like A Rock" and "Roll Me Away," really gets me. His three best songs!

  90. J.... M....

    I played my best for Him.....and Bob sang his BEST for US!

    I never can hear this without crying. So beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  91. C.... R....

    Love this song!!! Best version ever!! Love the added saxophone and guitar along with Bob Seger singing this. My favorite Christmas song. I watched the clay-mation Little Drummer Boy growing up. Great story.

  92. G.... s....

    the most badass version of the little drummer boy

  93. M.... A....

    Every year on repeat for the Holidays! Magical!

  94. A.... C....

    I'm in beginning band at Maury River Middle School and I play the trumpet and for practice I play this outstanding song

  95. B.... ....

    GFY GUS! I hope you get fired even if you beat UGA and Alabama. I've seen enough after all these years. You can't win games that matter. Even with one of the best defenses in football. U SUCK!

  96. A.... C....

    1:39 to 1:47 so fierce
