    Oh Sing A Song Of Bethlehem

    O sing a song of Bethlehem,
    Of shepherds watching there,
    And of the news that came to them
    From angels in the air.
    The light that shone on Bethlehem
    Fills all the world today;
    Of Jesus' birth and peace on earth
    The angels sing always.

    O sing a song of Nazareth,
    Of sunny days of joy;
    O sing of fragrant flowers' breath,
    And of the sinless Boy.
    For now the flowers of Nazareth
    In every heart may grow;
    Now spreads the fame of his dear name
    On all the winds that blow.

    O sing a song of Galilee,
    Of lake and woods and hill,
    Of him who walked upon the sea
    And bade the waves be still.
    For though like waves on Galilee,
    Dark seas of trouble roll,
    When faith has heard the Master's work,
    Falls peace upon the soul.

    O sing a song of Calvary,
    Its glory and dismay,
    Of him who hung upon the tree,
    And took our sins away.
    For he who died on Calvary
    Is risen from the grave,
    And Christ, our Lord, by heaven adored,
    Is mighty now to save.

    My favorite song when I was a child was Little Donkey, actually don't know if that was what it was called it might have been Ring out those bells tonight or maybe Bethlehem. Does anybody know?

    Daughters don't allow me to sing anymore, it might have something to do with the walls crumbling when my lovely voice echoes all around our home ;) ! Ha! Ha! Can't sing to save myself!:D

    little donkey


    Little donkey, little donkey
    On a dusty road
    Got to keep on plodding onwards
    With the precious load.
    Been a long time little donkey
    Thro' the winter's night.
    Don't give up now little donkey
    Bethlehem's in sight.

    Ring out those bells tonight
    Bethlehem, Bethlehem.
    Follow the star tonight
    Bethlehem, Bethlehem.

    Little donkey, little donkey
    Had a heavy day
    Little donkey carry Mary
    Safely on her way.

    Little donkey, little donkey
    Journey's end is near
    There are wisemen waiting for a
    Sign to bring them here.

    Do not falter, little donkey
    There's a star ahead
    It will guide you, little donkey
    To a cattle shed

    Ring out those bells tonight
    Bethlehem, Bethlehem.
    Follow that star tonight
    Bethlehem, Bethlehem.

    Little donkey, little donkey
    Had a heavy day
    Little donkey carry Mary
    Safely on her way.
    Little donkey carry Mary
    Safely on her way.

    Go here to see an ad from the UK with a remix of santa baby (with a funky santa).

    Even better there's a free download of the full song, although it's not a patch on Eartha Kitt, it's still pretty funky :D
