Christmas Play Songs

Brandon has been hard at work learning his lines for his first Xmas school play in a week or so’s time. He is playing an Inn Keeper in a play called "The Inn Keepers Breakfast" where and has four lines to read:

“Fishy Friday for you.

Jacket potato for you.

Chicken nuggets for you.

The inn is full.”

He also has some lovely little Xmas songs which he is learning and last Friday we overheard him singing one for the very first time. It was so cute hearing him sing his song and I was amazed he remembered the words as more often than not he cannot even remember what he ate for lunch. Needless to say the video camera came out to record him rehearsing his song. The lyrics to the song are as follows:

“Mary & Joseph came to Bethlehem,

they came a long, long way,

they was looking for a place to stay,

is there any room for us inside,
is there any room today.”

Joshua is also working hard for his Xmas play called "Christmas with the Aliens!" and this year he is in the band and will be playing multiple instruments (so no lines for him to learn). He does have to dress very smart though with black trousers, white shirt and a black bow tie. He has also got to learn some songs for the play and so far the only one we have heard him practise is about a star. The lyrics to his songs are:

“A star kept shinning, over the special night,
a star kept shinning, over the special night,

a star kept shinning, over the stabled bed,

a star kept shinning, over the stabled bed,

a star kept shinning, over the special night,
a star kept shinning, over the special night.”

Speaking of songs, Joshua has also picked up his first “humorous” song from his school mates and fortunately for us it isn’t a rude one. However it is quite funny hearing him sing it. Basically the lyrics go as follows (sung to the beat of the Macarena chorus):

“Hamburger, cheeseburger, lettuce and tomato.

Hamburger, cheeseburger, lettuce and tomato.

Hamburger, cheeseburger, lettuce and tomato.

Don’t forget the ketchup!.”
