The Cat and the Mouse Carol

Said the cat to the mouse, in their dark little house
In that stable so long ago
"I am wondering why that bright star in the sky
Is shining upon us down below"

And the night skies rang, as the angels sang
When love came down to the earth
And the night skies rang as the angels sang
When the Baby King had his birth

(And the night skies rang as the angels sang)
(When Love came down to the earth)
(And the night skies rang as the angels sang)
(When the Baby King had his birth)

Said the mouse to the cat, as in wonder they sat
And they saw Mary's face filled with joy
"Perhaps that star we can see is to tell you and me
Of the coming of this precious little boy"

And the night skies rang as the angels sang
When Love came down to the earth
And the night skies rang as the angels sang
When the Baby King had his birth

(And the night skies rang, as the angels sang)
(When Love came down to the earth)
(And the night skies rang as the angels sang)
(When the Baby King had his birth)

Sleepy shepherds they saw as they crept through the door
And they brought little gifts to the child
As they gazed with love on the child from above
Mary turned to the shepherds and smiled

And the night skies rang as the angels sang
When Love came down to the earth
And the night skies rang, as the angels sang
When the Baby King had his birth

(And the night skies rang as the angels sang)
(When Love came down to the earth)
(And the night skies rang as the angels sang)
(When the Baby King had his birth)

So they happily sat, little mouse, little cat
As they heard Mary singing to her son
As she cradles with care, little Jesus so fair
This baby, the Lord's chosen one

And the night skies rang as the angels sang
When Love came down to the earth
And the night skies rang as the angels sang
When the Baby King had his birth

And the night skies rang as the angels sang
When Love came down to the earth
And the night skies rang as the angels sang
When the Baby King had his birth
His birth
