lyrics

Come A-Come To Bethlehem
Words by Angela Sheik

Bah bah dum bum bum
Playing out a quiet rhythm on my little drum.

Playing out along the roadside when I see them come,
Travelers who've all come looking for the chosen one.
"Have you seen the newborn king?"

"Come, a-come, come, come," they told me,
"Bring your little drum.
You can play along the journey to Bethlehem.
Tell your father, tell your mother.
See if you can come.
Come and be our entertainment on your little drum."

"Come, a-come, come, come," they told me,
"See if you can come.
We're following the star that's guiding us to Bethlehem.
Travel over yonder mountains,
Travel 'til we come to the walls that line the city of Bethlehem."

Have you seen the newborn king?

What to bring the newborn king?

"Come, a-come, come, come," they told me,
"Play your little drum.
Come and play your birthday present to the chosen one."
