"Baaa!" said the sheep, and the cow said, "Mooo!"
"We're glad you're here. We'll make room for you!"
The donkey awoke and went, "Hee-haw!"
He said, "You can have my bed of straw!"

While Mary lay on her soft straw bed,
A bright star shone overhead,
And then before the break of morn,
The Son of God Himself was born!

The doves above gave a lovely "cooo."
The sheep said, "Baaa!" And the cow said, "Mooo!"
Where did the Baby Jesus lay?
All snug and warm, where the cows eat hay!

“[Mary] gave birth to her first child, a son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them” (Luke 2:7 NLT).
