[G] I am a drummer boy, pa-[C]-rapapom-[G]-pom,
[G] The one you've heard about, pa-[C]-rapapom-[G]-pom,
[D] To praise a new-born king, pa-[G]-rapapom-[D]-pom,
[D7] I came to play my drum, pa-[G]-rapapom-[C]-pom,
Rapapom-[G]-pom, rapapom-[D]-pom.
[G] Here's what happened next, pa-[C]-rapapom-[G]-pom,
To [D] me and my [G] drum.
[G] Mary swore at me, pa-[C]-rapapom-[G]-pom,
[G] Why won't you let me sleep, pa-[C]-rapapom-[G]-pom,
[D] I have just given birth, pa-[G]-rapapom-[D]-pom,
[D7] In this filthy dump, pa-[G]-rapapom-[C]-pom,
Rapapom-[G]-pom, rapapom-[D]-pom.
[G] What a nerve you've got, pa-[C]-rapapom-[G]-pom,
[D] You and your [G] drum.
[G] Get out, she told me, pa-[C]-rapapom-[G]-pom,
[G] Then Joseph kicked me in my [C] bumpabum-[G]-bum,
[D] Give us some peace, he said, pa-[G]-rapapom-[D]-pom,
[D7] There's goats and cows in here, pa-[G]-rapapom-[C]-pom,
Rapapom-[G]-pom, rapapom-[D]-pom.
[G] And chooks and donkeys too, pa-[C]-rapapom-[G]-pom,
[D] Who needs a [G] drum?
[G] He told me where to stick my [C] drumpapom-[G]-pom,
[G] They threw the wise men out, pa-[C]-rapapom-[G]-pom,
[D] Their gifts went flying, pa-[G]-rapapom-[D]-pom,
[D7] The babe was crying, pa-[G]-rapapom-[C]-pom,
Rapapom-[G]-pom, rapapom-[D]-pom.
[G] Shepherds fled the scene, pa-[C]-rapapom-[G]-pom,
[D] Look at them [G] run.
[G] Next time a king is born, pa-[C]-rapapom-[G]-pom,
[G] Don't bother telling me, pa-[C]-rapapom-[G]-pom,
[D] I'll stay away from him, pa-[G]-rapapom-[D]-pom,
[D7] I'll play my drum at home, pa-[G]-rapapom-[C]-pom,
Rapapom-[G]-pom, rapapom-[D]-pom.
[G] Let him get some rest, pa-[C]-rapapom-[G]-pom,
[D] Him and his [G] Mum.
[D] Him and his [G] Mum.
