Content  -  This song is from the nativity musical ‘Babushka’, about a tatty old stable full of cobwebs, which is suddenly blazing with light when a special baby is born. A lovely, picturesque song for infants at Christmas time, that paints a vivid picture of the scene in the stable.

Lyrics sample - 

There’s a stable full of cobwebs

Shabby and old,

And it’s dirty, very dusty,

Gloomy and cold.

But tonight that tatty stable

Is blazing with light,

’Cos a baby’s been born tonight.

In the stable there

Are cattle, donkeys and sheep,

And their eyes are so wide open,

They just can’t sleep.

’Cos tonight that tatty stable

Is blazing with light…
