Guest Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 I had a look for this but without any luck - can someone point me in the right direction or post the rest of the words here. THANKS
AnonyMouse_4177 Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 We sing (to the tune of Down in the jungle) Down in the stable one starry night 3 tired kings followed a light There was Mary There was Joseph and a mager full of hay Everyone was there on that first Christmas day Hi ti a boogie woogie woogie Hi ti a boogie woogie woogie Hi ti a boogie woogie woogie Everyone was there on that first Christmas day and Hickory Dickory Dock The shepherds were watching their sheep The angels came down And sent them to town Where they found Baby Jesus asleep oh what fun!

Guest Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 I like those Barb! The link for the 'Amarillo' song is http://under5s.co.uk/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t...christmas+songs but no more words are posted - I have pm-ed the author.
AnonyMouse_4177 Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 Well thank you Suzanne If you'd care to catch the live performance I can pretty much guarantee that I'll be belting them out at our Nativity, surrounded by silent children. Barb
Guest Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Oh Barb I hear you!! I'm a bit worried about my solo!! I've had b***hing mothers in the playground saying what a waste of time it is to do a Nativity grrrrrrrr. Not saying it to the staff tho! Thanks for these songs ladies - just what I've been looking for. I'll add them to my little resource book on my site if that's OK.
Guest Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 we get those mothers too pandamonium, I was asked by one parent if her child could NOT be an angel, but still in full costume of another kind, and can she have a speaking part - the child is only 2 years old! i know were expected to perform wonders in early years, but not sure the children are quite ready for this. we have around 50-60 parents and families come to watch, as well as all 180 primary school children and teachers and TA's ect. as soon as the curtain opens, all the children either go into shock or start shouting to their mum they have just spotted in the crowd. anyway, i will still do it, even though i dont get any thanks from parents (just moans about their child not being the angel, not speaking, didnt sing loud enough, etc - you know how it goes. the school thank me though, so thats nice.
Guest Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 We have a variety of songs for our nativity Mary and Joseph and Donkey (Sung to Here we go round the mulberry Bush) Here we go up to Bethlehem Bethlehem, Bethlehem Here we go up to Bethelehem Early in the Morning Then Rat a tat tat song at the inn Then Away in a manger when Jesus is born Then Shepherds - (sung to There was a princess long ago) The shepherds sat around the fire around the fire, around the fire The shepherds sat around the fire Long long ago Angels (same tune) The angels came to visit them visit them, visit them the angels came to visit them long long ago The the wise men follow a star to the stable to twinkle twinkle little star Then when all the children are at the stable (sung to there was a princess again) Well every body's happy now happy now, happy now well everybody's happy now Happy now And we finish with we wish you a merry christmas Guaranteed to bring a tear to the eye!! Hope this helps Sue
