Pa rum pum pum pum
Our newborn King to see
Pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring
Pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King
Pa rum pum pum pum
Ra pum pum pum
Ra pum pum pum
Ra pum pum pum pum pum
Yeah, I'm on the drum
Yeah, I'm on the stand drum
Yeah, I'm on the beat 'cause the beat goes dumb
And they only spare heat 'cause I'm playing for the sun
Playing for the King, playing for the title
I'm surprised you didn't hear this in the Bible
I'm so tight I might go psycho
Christmas time so here's a recital
I'm so bad like Michael I know
I'm still young but I go I go
Stupid, stupid, love like cupid
I'ma drummer boy so do, do
Little baby
Pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too
Pa rum pum pum pum (gather round the mistletoe real quick)
I have no gifts to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
(He he matter fact let's gather round the fireplace while we get hot here)
That's fit to give our King (Bieber what up?)
Pa rum pum pum pum (yeah)
Ra pum pum pum (yeah)
Ra pum pum pum (yeah) (I'm gonna get straight to it)
At the table with the family
Having dinner, Blackberry on the hip and then the game a little slicker
Then it gave a lil' flicker then
I took a look to see, before it activates the ringer
Came to realize the homie Bieber hit me on the Twitter
Then I hit him back that's right I had some food up on my fingers
Sipping eggnog, with a little sprinkle of vanilla
Even though it's kind of cool I'm pulling on a chinchilla
Bieber hit me back and said lets make it hot up in the winter
I said cool, cool
You know I will deliver let's collaborate and make the holiday a little bigger
Before we work I gotta get this off
See the other family members and drop gifts off
Then I'm headed to the studio 'cause ain't nothing stopping
How you know we about to turn it up and really get it poppin' now
People everywhere and all our twitter followers
Merry Christmas, Kwanzaa, happy Hanukkah!
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 (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I played my best for him
Pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
If you wanna give, it's the time of year
JB on the beat, yeah, yeah, I'm on the stand
It's crazy how some people say they don't care
When there's people on the street with no food, it's not fair
It's about time for you to act merrily
It's about time for you give to charity
Rarely do people, don't wanna even help at all
'Cause they wont bother buying, getting toys, getting dolls
Not thinking there's a family out hungry and cold
Wishin', wishin' that they had somebody they could hold
So I think some of you need to act bold
Can we give to a tribe let's change the globe
I'm the drummer boy so do it, do it
I'm the drummer boy so do it, do it
I'm the drummer boy so do it, do it
I'm the drummer boy so do it, do it
I'm the drummer boy so do it, do it

I think, it's not just good as a Christmas song, it also defines JB's genre perfectly. One of my favourite ones that I can listen in loop.
