Animals Song for Christmas
Was in the middle of the night
And all us animals were all asleep
Then we got a nasty fright
Us cows and calves and all the sheep
There was a sudden loud commotion
A poor old donkey staggered right in
It showed to us his pure devotion
And all us animals were in a spin
On his back was a pregnant lady
We knew she was special we animals did
This was not a time to be shady
We knew, nothing from us could be hid.
We moved aside to make her room
Our hay was used to make a cradle
Then suddenly from out of her womb
Came the baby in this smelly stable.
On the hills, the sheep in joyful motion
Heard the Angels sing and say
(This moved the sheep in pure devotion)
That Peace on earth has arrived this day.
