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
Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum

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 honour him
pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
when we come

Every child must be made aware
Every child must be made to care
Care enough for his fellow man
To give all the love that he can

Little baby
pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I stood beside him there
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
And he smiled at me
pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
me and my drum


Peace on Earth, can it be
Years from now, perhaps we'll see
See the day of glory
See the day, when men of good will
Live in peace, live in peace again


Peace on Earth, can it be
Every child must be made aware
Every child must be made to care
Care enough for his fellow man
To give all the love that he can

I pray my wish will come true
For my child and your child too
He'll see the day of glory
See the day when men of good will
Live in peace, live in peace again

Peace on Earth, can it be
Can it be
