Come, they told me,
(pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)Our newborn King to see,
(pa-rum-pum-pum-pum!)A procession travels to Bethlehem, carrying their finest gifts to give to the Baby Jesus. The little drummer boy comes along, though he is too poor to bring a present fit for a king. Instead, he plays a song on his drum for the Christ Child. Ezra Jack Keats's vivid, jewel-toned artwork perfectly illustrates this classic holiday carol.
