The words and music to the Christmas song Little Drummer Boy was composed by Katherine K. Davis, Henry Onorati and Harry Simeone in 1958. The lyrics of Little Drummer Boy consist of no less than 21 rum pum pum pum' - a major part of the song and therefore presenting an apparently easy task for the lyricist! However, Little Drummer Boy has been a huge hit for several artists. The most notable rendition was created by the most unlikely combination of Bing Crosby and David Bowie. This version of Little Drummer Boy was a massive hit for the artists and was in fact Bing Crosby's most successful recording since the legendary White Christmas.
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 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 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 Then He smiled at me (pa-rum pum pum pum) Me and my drum
