SHEPHERDS LEAPING

1.    Starlight is swirling on this Christmas night.
       Angels are twirling, dizzy with delight.
       Shepherds are wide awake, when most are fast asleep.
       They hear the sound of joyful singing, and leave their startled sheep.
 

Refrain:  Shepherds come leaping, come leaping and dancing
           down the hill to Bethlehem
           Shepherds come leaping, come leaping and dancing
           down the hill to Bethlehem.
