No Place to Stay
Clop, clop, clop went the donkey's
feet.
Clop, clop, clop down the stony street.
Nod, nod, nod went Mary's head.
She was so tired, she needed a bed.
Knock, knock, knock went Joseph at the door.
Do you have room for anyone more?
No, no, no the innkeeper said.
We don't even have one more bed.
Wait, wait, wait the innkeeper said.
You can use my stable for a bed.
Sh, sh, sh what is that I hear?
The cry of baby Jesus oh so dear.

Jump For Joy Lyrics
Let's jump for joy, jump for joy, jump for joy,
Jesus is born (X2)
The angel said, don't be afraid
The angel said, don't be afraid
The angel said, don't be afraid
God gave us baby Jesus (X2)
Let's clap for joy, clap for joy, clap for joy,
Jesus is born (X2)
The shepherds said, hear the good news,
The shepherds said, hear the good news,
The shepherds said, hear the good news,
God gave us baby Jesus. (X2)
Let's twist for joy, twist for joy, twist for joy,
Jesus is born (X2)
Let's jump for joy, jump, jump, jump! (X4)
Let's clap for joy, clap, clap clap (X4)
Let's twist for joy, twist, twist, twist (X4)
Baby Jesus is born.
Let's jump for joy, jump for joy, jump for joy,
Jesus is born (X2)
Jump, Clap, Twist, Jesus is born!
