Lyrics sample

In the stable in Bethlehem:

Cows and donkeys, sheep and hens.

Five happy angels,

Four happy shepherds,

Three happy wise men,

Two happy parents full of joy, (clap, clap, clap)

One little boy in the straw.

Joy, joy, joy, joy!

Joy, joy, joy, joy!

One little boy to bring us joy! (clap, clap, clap) 

One little boy in the straw.
