What did the little lamb say
Who saw the baby in the hay?
Baa, baa, Mary's son,
He looks out for ev'ryone.
All the sheep are in the fold,
No more lambies lost and cold,
Said the little lamb child,
Meek and mild in Bethlehem.
What did the little calf say
Who saw the baby in the hay?
Moo, moo, Mary's son,
He looks out for everyone.
All the kine are housed and fed,
But no place for Jesus' head,
Said the little calf child,
Meek and mild in Bethlehem.
What did the little chick say
Who saw the baby in the hay?
Weet, weet, Mary's son,
He looks out for everyone.
No more wee ones pushed aside,
Put to scorn at Christmastide,
Said the little chick child,
Meek and mild, in Bethlehem.
What did the little foal say
Who saw the baby in the hay?
Ay, ay, Mary's son,
He looks out for everyone.
Time for work and time to feast,
Time for joy for man and beast,
Said the little foal child,
Meek and mild, in Bethlehem.
