Ten for the Ten Commandments
Nine for the nine who look so fine
Eight for the eight who stood at the gate
Seven for the seven who went to Heaven
Five for the gospel preacher
Four for the four who stood at the door
Three for the Hebrew children

Born, born, born in Bethlehem
Born, born, born in Bethlehem
He was born, born in Bethlehem
Well he was born, yes he was born
Well he was born in Bethlehem
