Song Lyrics
Professor Sam Singalottasonga: Bethlehem was full that night

No rooms left at the inn

Everybody: A manger all that they could find

For baby born a king

Professor Sam Singalottasonga: Oh, let the world rejoice

Everybody: They have found a new voice

Professor Sam Singalottasonga: And fill the world with cheer

Everybody: For our saviour is here.

Professor Sam Singalottasonga: Oh, what a sight. A guiding star so bright. Ooooooh....

Everybody: Shepherds and three wise men, too

They followed that guiding light

Gold, frankincense and myrrh

Professor Sam Singalottasonga: They brought to the child that night

Everybody: Ooh-ooh

Professor Sam Singalottasonga: He was born son of God

Baby Jesus, our lord

Everybody: And the angels did sing

Professor Sam Singalottasonga and Everybody: (vocalizing)
