[Mike Donehey:]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ooh, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey
While shepherds kept their watchin'
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light, yeah
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ooh, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Down in a lowly manger
Our humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
[Children Choir (Mike Donehey):]
Jesus Christ is born (Jesus Christ is born)
Jesus Christ is born
[Mike Donehey:]
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
[Children Choir (Mike Donehey):]
Jesus Christ is born (Ooh he's born)
Jesus Christ is born (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Jesus Christ is born (Ooh, yeah)
Jesus Christ is born
Jesus Christ is born
Jesus Christ is born
Jesus Christ is born
Jesus Christ is born
Jesus Christ is born
Jesus Christ is born
