2.

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, pa rum pum pum pum,

rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum

Me and my drum.

nice playing. that brings back memories. i sang ( or pretended to sing ) it in a church choir when i was a wee lad living in michigan. i forget a lot of the words to it. i think the song is structured as if it were sung by a boy who plays a drum in front of the christ child. i think the boy talks about the fine gifts that others gave to christ, and the boy says that the boy couldn't give anything other than a song, and the boy mentions using a drum during the song that the boy sang to christ.

Something like that. The Line that the Little Drummer Boy says to Christ is I have no gift to bring par-rump-ah-pum-pum that's fit to give a king par-rump-ah-pum pum... shall I play for youpar.... on my drum?

I'm very much a fan of all of your playing, and it's really nice to hear something like this from you. Especially in the Christmas spirit! I'm very much a fan. You just reminded me to do the shopping and get my list ready in advance, haha.

Keep playing Allen Dale!

I see that I'm not the only one in the Christmas spirit, ^_^. Fantastic job! This may seem odd, but I felt like I was listening to it on the radio when I'm in my bed at night.

I do that during Christmas, that is I listen to Christmas music when I go to bed, it relaxes me, much like this can relax me.

Great to hear. Thank you.
