Hee-haw

Isn't it strange how some things grab you and yet others pass you by?

Lainie (age 8) sang a song at her carol service that I have not been able to stop thinking about with my weird sense of humour! See also: Nazarene Gossips from Dec 2011

I can just imagine this being recited (not sung) with inferences and inflections on certain words, it would be so funny!

A song and poem depicting Christ’s birth as seen with the eyes of the donkey that took them to Bethlehem!

Hee-Haw!

Hee-haw, hee-haw
doesn't anybody care
There's a baby in my dinner
and its just not fair

Jesus in the manger
lying in the hay
far too young to realise he's getting in the way
I don't blame the baby
not his fault at all
but his parents really should respect a donkey's feeding stall

Hee-haw, hee-haw
doesn't anybody care
There's a baby in my dinner
and its just not fair

After all that journey
with my heavy load
did I ever once complain about that dreadful road
I can cope with the backache
and these swollen feet
all I ask is some respect and one square meal to eat


Hee-haw, hee-haw
doesn't anybody care
There's a baby in my dinner
and its just not fair

"Be prepared", I told them
better book ahead
Joseph said "Don't be an ass" and took a chance instead
Now they've pinched my bedroom
people are so rude
I can cope with that but not a baby in my food

Hee-haw, hee-haw
doesn't anybody care
There's a baby in my dinner
and it’s just not fair


I have searched and been unable to attribute it to anyone so will list as Anon?
