Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see? (Do you see what I see?)
Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see? (Do you see what I see?)
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear? (Do you hear what I hear?)
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear? (Do you hear what I hear?)
A song, a song high above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty King
Do you know what I (do you know) Know? (what I know, know what I know)
In your palace warm, mighty King
Do you know what I (do you know) Know? (what I know, know what I know)
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I (listen) say (to what I say)
Pray for peace, people, everywhere
Listen to what I (listen) say (to what I say)
The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light
Bing Crosby's song Do You Hear What I Hear? is written in the form of a Christmas carol and takes the listeners through the story of the night when Jesus was born. The song opens with a conversation between the night wind and a little lamb, asking if the lamb sees the star dancing in the night sky. The next verse talks about how the little lamb sees the shepherd boy and tells him about the song ringing through the sky, with a voice as big as the sea. The shepherd boy then goes to the mighty king and tells him about the child shivering in the cold, and he suggests they bring silver and gold to the child. Finally, the king tells the people to listen to him and pray for peace, saying that the child sleeping in the night will bring them goodness and light.
The song is a powerful message of hope and peace that anyone from any religion or background can relate to. It tells the story of the humble beginnings of Jesus, the savior of humanity, and how such an important and powerful figure came to save the world. The message of the song is that peace and goodwill can only be achieved through the humility, kindness, and love of a child.

There's going to be a hallelujah day
When the boys have all come home to stay
And a million bands begin to play
We'll be dancing the vic'try polka
And when we lived the push of liberty
In each flag? land across the sea
When a man can proudly say I'm free
We'll be dancing the vic'try polka
And we will give a mighty cheer
When a ration book is just a souvenir
And we'll heave a mighty sigh
When each gal can kiss the boy she kissed goodbye
And they'll come marching done fifth avenue
The united nations in review
When this lovely dream has all come true
We'll be dancing the vic'try polka
Dance dance dance the vic'try polka
Join join join the merry throng
Sing sing sing the vic'try polka
Raise your voices loud & strong
There's going to be a great hallelujah day
When the boys have all come home to stay
And a million bands begin to play
We'll be dancing the vic'try polka
And when we lived the push of liberty
In each flag? land across the sea
When a man can proudly say I'm free
We'll be dancing the vic'try polka
And we will give a mi-mi-mighty cheer
When a ration book is just a souvenir
And we'll heave a mi-mi-mighty sigh
When each gal can kiss the boy she kissed goodbye
And they'll come marching done fifth avenue
The united nations in review
When this lovely dream has all come true
We'll be dancing the vic'try polka
We'll be dancing the vic'try polka
