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
Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum
Peace on Earth, (Come they told me)
can it be? (pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)
Years from now, (A newborn king to see)
perhaps we'll see? (pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)
See the day of glory (Our finest gift we
bring pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)
See the day, (To lay before the king)
when men of good will (pa-ra-pa-pum-pum)
Live in peace, (Rum-pum-pum-pum)
live in peace again (Rum-pum-pum-pum)
Peace on Earth (So to honour him)
(pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)
Can it be (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
I pray my wish, (Little baby)
will come true (pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)
For my child, (I stood beside him there)
and your child too (pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)
He'll see d day (I play my drum for him)
of glory (pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)
See the day (I played my best for him)
when men of good will (pa-ra-pa-pum-pum)
Live in peace, (Rum-pum-pum-pum)
live in peace again (rum-pum-pum-pum)
Peace on Earth (Then he smiled at me)
Can it be (Me and my drum)
Can it be
