Theme  -  Christmas, Nativity, donkey

________________________

Content  -  A very cute song that gives a donkey's perspective on the 'fuss' surrounding the Nativity!  He just wants to eat his hay, but there's something in the way: there's a baby in the manger!  The donkey finds the whole thing a bit of an imposition. However, once the donkey hears of the journey to Egypt he perks up. He's going to be carrying Mary and the baby - and he'll get a meal at last!

Lyrics sample

I live in the stable with my friend the cow.

Seems other people have to share it with me now.

There’s not a proper room to put them in, so

They stuck them in with us, yes

They stuck them in with us.

Lots of people came to see them yesterday,

They brought some presents but they didn’t bring me hay.

I wonder if I’ll ever get a meal ’cos

The baby’s in the manger,

The baby’s in the manger.
