Fun Carol

1
Fun Carol Oh I would like to be among the
shepherds
2
Oh I would like to be among the shepherds On the
hills with their lambs and woolly sheep.
3
Oh I would like to hear the angels sing their
song with their harps and bells merr-il-y
ding, ding dong.
4
Oh I would love to see the shepherds gorping as
they take in the news of Jesus birth
5
and Id love to dance with joy
as they go to meet the Boy
who comes from heaven to live on earth.
6
Oh I would like to be beside the Manger, but I
don't like the smell of donkey poo!
7
and I'm not sure at all about the hens that
cluck, and the lambs that bleat and
all-that-stable muck.
8
But I am sure that God came as baby, That he
did-nt-come- to-judge or to condemn,
9
and he welcomes girls and boys in their
sadness and their joys to see the Manger .....
in Bethlehem!
10
Oh I would like to hitch-a-ride with Wise
Men, and Id really-like-to-squint up at the
Star,
11
and Id sure like to sit beside a camels hump,
and to bounce along, bumpety, bump, bump, bump!
12
And Id really-love-to-sort-out horrid Herod
13
And-to-tell-him hate and killing make no
sense,
14
and Id love to be around when the Boy plays on
the ground with gifts of gold, myrrh and
frankincense!
15
Oh Id re-ally-love to sneak into the Temple
and be there with the old-folk at the door.
16
Oh Id so love to see them hug the new-born
King And to join with them in a
cel-e-bration-sing.
17
Oh Id sure love to hold the baby Jesus and to
promise-Him- Ill-be-his- specialfriend
18
and to say with all my heart that Ill make a
fresh new start and that our friendship will
never end.
