Starry night. Stars are shining clear and bright. Shining down with all their might,
on the town of Bethlehem. And it’s a noisy night. Restless people everywhere.
Traveling from here and there, to the town of Bethlehem, to Bethlehem, to Bethlehem.
O little town of Bethlehem, as noisy as can be, with visitors and travelers as far as the
eye can see. The streets are bright with star light, you’d think it was mid-day. Who
would have thought this quiet spot would come to life… this starry night. Stars are
shining clear and bright. Shining down with all their might, on the town of
Bethlehem. And it’s a noisy night, restless people everywhere. Traveling from here
and there. To the town of Bethlehem, to Bethlehem, to Bethlehem.
Little Donkey, little donkey, on the dusty road, got to keep on plodding onwards, with
your 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 that star tonight, Bethlehem, Bethlehem. Little donkey, little
donkey, journey’s end is near. There are wise men, 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.
