Here are Year 4’s songs to learn this year for our Christmas performance.

The Lonely Goatherd 

High on a hill was a lonely goatherd
Lay-ee-odl-lay-ee-odl-lay-hee-hoo
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd
Lay-ee-odl-lay-ee-odl-ooh

Folks in a town that was quite remote heard
Lay-ee-odl-lay-ee-odl-lay-hee-hoo
Lusty and clear from the goatherd’s throat heard
Lay-ee-odl-lay-ee-odl-ooh

O-ho-lay-dee-odl-lee-o, o-ho-lay-dee-odl-ay
O-ho-lay-dee-odl-lee-o, o-ho-lay-dee-odl-ay

5, 6, 7, 8 

(It’s time to begin – now count it in)
5-6-7-8
My boot scootin’ baby is drivin’ me crazy
My obsession from a Western, my dance floor date
My rodeo Romeo, a cowboy god from head to toe
Wanna make you mine, better get in line
5-6-7-8

My boot scootin’ baby is drivin’ me crazy
My obsession from a Western, my dance floor date
My rodeo Romeo, a cowboy god from head to toe
Wanna make you mine, better get in line
5-6-7-8

The Shepherd’s Conga

Sheep to the left and sheep to the right
Everybody conga with us deep into the night
Sheep all around as far as well can see
Help us make a longer conga, 1, 2, 3

We live and breathe (sheep!)
We talk and dream (sheep!)
We count them in the daytime and we count them in our sleep
We sing and dance (sheep!)
We cry and laugh (sheep!)
We count them in the daytime and we count them in our sleep

While Shepherds Watch Their Flocks By Night

(30 second intro)

While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
all seated on the ground,
an angel of the Lord came down,
and glory shone around.

“Fear not,” said he for mighty dread
had seized their troubled mind
“glad tidings of great joy I bring
to you and all mankind.

“All glory be to God on high,
and to the earth be peace;
to those on whom his favour rests
goodwill shall never cease.”
