Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible say
Mary�??s boy child, Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas day
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a King is born today
And man will live forevermore, because of Christmas day
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
They saw a brand new shining star
They heard a choir sing, the music seemed to come from afar
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a King is born today
And man will live forevermore, because of Christmas day
Sing na, na, na�?� Hallelujah
Na, na, na, na, na, na�?�
Na, na, na�?�
Sing Hallelujah
Na, na, na ey�?�
Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, come to Bethlehem that night
They found no place to bear her child, not a single room in sight
And then they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn
And in a manger, cold and dark, Mary�??s little boy was born
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a King is born today
And man will live forevermore, because of Christmas day
[x2]
Sing na, na, na�?� Hallelujah
Na, na, na, na, na, na�?�
Na, na, na�?�
Sing Hallelujah
Na, na, na ey�?�
Sing na, na, na�?� Hallelujah
Na, na, na, na, na, na�?�
Na, na, na�?�
Sing Hallelujah
Because of Christmas day
