(And now back to our regularly scheduled program...)

Collin (& Colleen) when they were in a children's choir. This is what they were singing:


Christmas is Comming/Feed the Birds
(traditional nusery rhyme/ RM & RB Sherman)
arrangement by Collin McCollie

Chorus: Christmas is comming...(repeated)

Collin:
Christmas is comming
The geese are getting fat
Please to put a penny in an old man's hat
If you haven't got a penny, a ha'penny will do
If you haven't got a ha'penny, God bless you

May God bless you
May God bless you
May God bless you...

Chorus: Christmas is comming....

Collin:
Early each day to the steps of St. Paul's
The little old bird woman comes
In her own special way to the people she calls
"Come buy my bags full of crumbs;
Come feed the little birds
Show them you care
And you'll be glad if you do
Their young ones are hungry
Their nests are so bare
All it takes is tuppence from you"

"Feed the birds
Tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag
Feed the birds", that's what she cries
While overhead, her birds fill the skies

All around the cathedral, the saints and apostles
Look down as she sells her wares
Although you can't see it, you know they are smiling
Each time someone shows that he cares

Though her words are simple and few
Listen, listen, she's calling to you:
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag"

Chorus:
All around the cathedral, the saints and apostles
Look down as she sells her wares
Although you can't see it, you know they are smiling
Each time someone shows that he cares

Collin:
Though her words are simple and few
Listen, listen, she's calling to you:
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag"

All:
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag...."

(First performed at Saint Paul's Cathedral, London.)
