Ray Conniff - Jolly Old St. Nicholas/The Little Drummer Boy Songtexte

Jolly old St. Nicholas
Lean your ear this way!
Don't you tell a single soul
What I'm gonna say
Christmas Eve is coming soon
Now, you dear old man
Whisper what you'll bring to me
Tell me if you can.

When the clock is striking twelve
And I'm sound asleep
Down the chimney, broad and black
With your pack you'll creep
All the stockings you will find
Hanging in a row
Mine will be the shortest one
You'll be sure to know.

Johnny wants a pair of skates
Suzy wants a sled
Nellie wants a picture book
Yellow, blue, and red
Now I think I'll leave to you
What you give the rest
But give little Billy a drum this year (a drum this year)
Cause that's what he likes best.

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

Baby Jesus
Pa rum pum pum pum
I am 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
