Little Drummer Girl Lyrics - Alicia Keys

To me it seems like Christmas is lost 

'Cuz it's not about celebrating anymore 

It's just about giving to receive 

And the illest thing to me about the little drummer boy 

Or the little drummer girl in my case, I mean 

Is that all that Shorty had was her drum, that's it 

And through her drum, she gave Jesus her soul 

There ain't no amount of riches that could ever amount to that 

You know what I'm sayin'?

Ba dee ah, ba dee ah 

Come on, they told me 

A new born king to see 

Our finest gifts we bring to lay before the king 

So here we come 

Oh, ra pum pum pum pum 

Baby Jesus, I am a poor girl too 

I have no gift to bring 

That's fit to give a king 

Shall I play for you on my drum? 

Mary nodded 

The excellent kept time 

I played my drum for Him 

I played my best for Him 

Then he smiled at me, me and my drum 

Me and my drum 

Rum pum pum pum 

Pa rum pum pum pum 

Pa rum pum pum pum (oh yeah) 

Pa rum pum pum pum (oh) 

Pa rum pum pum pum 

Pa rum pum pum pum (come on they told me) 

Pa rum pum pum pum (a new born king to see) 

Pa rum pum pum pum (can I play my drum for him) 

Pa rum pum pum pum
