Lyrics
Greg: The first Noel the angels did say

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;

In fields where they lay, keeping their sheep,

On a cold winter's night that was so deep.

Wiggles: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel.

Anthony: They looked up and saw a star,

Shining in the east, beyond them far.

And to the earth it gave great light,

And so it continued both day and night.

Wiggles: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel.

Murray: And by the light of that same star,

Three Wise Men came from country far;

To seek for a King was their intent,

And to follow the star wheresoever it went.

Wiggles: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel.

Jeff: This star drew nigh to the north-west;

O'er Bethlehem it took its rest.

And there it did both stop and stay

Right over the place where Jesus lay.

Wiggles: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel.
