Away in a manger No crib for a bed The shepherds tie teatowels Around their sweet heads; King Herod and a wise man Both have got chickenpox And the Donkey's stick insect Has escaped from his box; The Innkeeper is lovestruck So he wants Joseph dead While an angel is plotting To be Mary instead; The sensitive narrator Has his lines off by heart The recorders are squawking And we're ready to start; Come join us this Christmas For a true festive treat Of the world's greatest story From the kids of Flint Street. Tim Firth is the acclaimed writer of
All Quiet on the Preston Front and
Calendar Girls. Adapted from his own television play
