Bob Dylan's rendition of this classic holiday song captures the essence of humility and heartfelt giving. The narrative follows a poor boy who, upon hearing of a newborn king, wishes to honor him despite having no material gifts. Instead, he offers his talent—playing his drum—as a tribute. This act symbolizes that the value of a gift lies in the sincerity and effort behind it rather than its material worth. The boy's simple drumming touches the holy family, earning a smile from baby Jesus. This story reminds us that true generosity comes from the heart ❤️ and that even the humblest offerings can be deeply meaningful when given with love and devotion.
Little Drummer Boy
Lyrics
Come, they told me, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
A newborn king to see, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
To lay before the king, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum
And so to honor him, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
When we come
Little baby, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I am a poor boy, too, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I have no gift to bring, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
That's fit to give a king, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum
Shall I play for you? Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
On my drum
Mary nodded, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I played my drum for him, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I played my best for him, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum
Then he smiled at me, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
