Content – Shepherds are looking after their sheep on a quiet, peaceful night when suddenly a bright light appears in the sky. Angels appear, telling them not to be scared because they have wonderful news. A special baby king has been born in Bethlehem! Everyone is so excited that even the sheep start bouncing around and going completely “baa-baa-bananas” with joy!  Irresistible!

Lyrics Sample

Shepherds are watching

Their sheep on the hill

Nothing is stirring,

The night is quite still.

Everything’s peaceful

But only until

There suddenly shines a great light.

And the sheep go baa!

Baa-baa-bananas, baa-baa-bananas

As they bounce with joy!

Baa, baa, baa! Baa-baa-bananas,

Baa-baa-bananas for the boy!

Angels appear in a beautiful throng.

“Don’t be afraid!”

say the words of their song.
