Theme  -  The journey to Bethlehem, nativity

_________________________

Content  -  Five little angels, four sleepy shepherds, three very wise men, and two more (Mary and Joseph) are all on the way to Bethlehem.  When they get there, one little baby (Jesus!) is born!  A great way to introduce modulation to young children.  While it is an easy counting song for Christmas, the option of building up into three parts in each verse makes this song much more than that, and ideal for infant or lower junior choir.

Lyrics sample

Five, five, five little angels

Rockin’ on the road to Bethlehem.

Five, five, five little angels

Rockin’ on the road to Bethlehem.

Five, five, five little angels

Rockin’ on the road to Bethlehem.

Let’s follow them to Bethlehem.

Twenty-fifth of December - let’s all go!

Four, four, four sleepy shepherds... (etc.)
