The Nativity Play

 

Kamal is a shepherd,

Mark is a king,

Doha's a nangel,

Pete has to sing.

 

Tracy's a wise man,

Kim is one too,

Shirley's the other one;

Tom just says "moo!"

 

David's a donkey,

The twins are the straw,

Ike is a sheepdog,

Shamin's a door.

Zoe's the innkeeper,

(After a row!),

Mo's a nother nangel,

And Vicky's a cow.

 

As for the star parts,

Of course there was no fuss-

Joanne will be Mary

And I will be-JOFUS!
