Ray Conniff & the Singers - Medley: Jolly Old St. Nicholas/ The Little Drummer Boy Lyrics

Jolly old Saint Nicholas
Lean your ear this way
Don't you tell a single soul
What I'm going to 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

(Ah ah ah ah)
(Ah ah ah ah)

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 to give the rest
But give little Billy a drum this year
Drum this year
'Cause that's what he like best

(Rum rum rum rum)

Come they told me
Pa rum pum pum pum
A newborn 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

(Rum, rum, pum rum, rum, pum rum, rum pum pum)

Baby Jesus
Pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too
Pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gifts 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

(Rum, rum)

Shall I play for you
Pa rum pum pum pum
On my drum

(Rum, rum, pum rum, rum, pum rum, rum pum pum)

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

(Rum, pum, ba ba da bum, ba ba da Bum, ba ba da, ba ba da bum)

Then He smiled at me
Pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum

(Rum, rum, pum rum, rum, rum rum, pum rum)
(Rum, rum, rum, rum, pum rum, rum)
