[Verse 1: Danny Wood & (NKOTB)]
Come, they told me
(Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom)
The newborn King you’ll see
(Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom)
Our finest gifts we bring
(Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom)
To lay before the King
(Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom
Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom
Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom)
So, to honor him
(Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom)
When we come
[Verse 2: Danny Wood & (NKOTB)]
Little baby
(Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom)
I am a poor boy too
(Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom)
I have no gift to bring
(Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom)
That fit to give our King
(Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom
Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom
Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom)
So, to honor him
(Pa-romp-pa-pom-pom)
I’ll play my drum
