[Verse 1 - Stevie Wonder]
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

[Chorus - Stevie Wonder]
Pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum

[Verse 2 - Stevie Wonder]
So to honor Him
Pa rum pum pum pum
When we come

Little baby
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

[Chorus - Stevie Wonder]
Pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum

[Verse 3 - Stevie Wonder]
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

[Chorus - Stevie Wonder]
Pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum

[Outro - Stevie Wonder]
Then He smiled at me
Pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
