Sing Sing, sparrow in the birch
Through the winter morning
Ring Ring, Bells of the Church
Ding dong ding dong
While the first frost settles on
Its new-found throne over the town
To the faint, sweet sound of children
Singing in a round
Oh little winter bird sing merrily
Merrily sing your song today
Oh little snowbird sing of peace
For this is Christmas day
Sing Sing, sparrow in the birch
Through the winter morning
Ring Ring, bells of the church
Ding dong ding dong
Wrap the scarves and pull the hats on
Join the dance down on the old pond
While the morning frost clings to the branches
In a fight against the sun
And the sound of carols can be heard by everyone
Oh little winter bird sing merrily
Merrily sing your song today
Oh little snowbird sing of peace
For this is Christmas day
Sing Sing, sparrow in the birch
Ring Ring, bells of the church
Stoke the fire and light the candle
Hang the stockings from the mantle
While the old year shimmers in
Her last few moments on the earth
And the children's eyes all gleam
To hear the story of impossible birth
