Malvina Reynolds — In Bethlehem

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 Hе looks out for everyone No morе 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
