Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child,
By, by, lully, lullay.
Oh sisters too how may we do,
For to preserve this day.
This poor youngling
for whom we do sing,
By, by, lully, lullay.
Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child,
By, by, lully, lullay.
Herod the king in his raging,
Charged he hath this day.
His
men of might in his own sight,
All children young to slay.
Lully, lulla,thou little tiny child,
By, by lully, lullay.
That woe is me poor child for thee,
And ever morn
and day.
For thy parting neither say nor sing,
By, by, lully, lullay.

So to honor Him,pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
When we come.
Baby Jesus,pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I am a poor boy too,pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I have no gift to bring,pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
That's fit to give our King,pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum,
Shall I play for you,pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
On my drum
Mary nodded,pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
The ox and ass kept time,pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I played my drum for Him,pa-rum-pum-pum-pum

Then He smiled at me,pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
