Pat-A-Pan / While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night Songtext
von Bing Crosby

Pan-pat-a-pan
Pat-a-pat-a-pan
Pan-pat-a-pan
Pat-a-pat-a-pan
Pan-pat-a-pan, pat-a-pat-a-pan
Pan-pat-a-pan, pat-a-pat-a-pat-a-pat-a-pat-a-pat-a-pat-a-pat-a

Willie, take your little drum
Robin bring your fife and come
When we play the fife and drum
Tu-re-lu-re-lu
Pat-a-pat-a-pan
When we play the fife and drum
Christmas shall very joyful be


Like the men of olden days
Who the king of kings did praise
With the sound of fife and drum
Tu-re-lu-re-lu
Pat-a-pat-a-pan
With the sound of fife and drum
To the Lord we shall bring our praise

While shepherds watched their sheep by night
Glad tidings brought and angel bright
How great their joy (how great their joy)
Joy joy joy (joy joy joy)
Glory to God in Heaven on high (glory to God in Heaven on high)

"Fear not at all," He said to them
"Jesus is born in Bethlehem"
How great their joy (how great their joy)
Joy joy joy (joy joy joy)
Glory to God in Heaven on high (glory to God in Heaven on high)

Jesus we hasten to adore
Grant us thy blessing ever more
How great their joy (how great their joy)
Joy joy joy (joy joy joy)
Glory to God in Heaven on high (glory to God in Heaven on high)
