[Verse]
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

Ringo Starr

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
