Gimme little joy, Gimme little joy, Gimme little joy, for the little baby boy
Gimme little joy for the little baby boy oh the boy in Bethlehem
Isaiah was foretold how the story would unfold
About the boy born in Bethlehem
Every word of it came true at the moment it was due
For the boy in Bethlehem
Gimme little joy, Gimme little joy, Gimme little joy, for the little baby boy
Gimme little joy for the little baby boy oh the boy in Bethlehem
Angels said to Joe don’t you leave your lady so
There’s a boy in Bethlehem
The virgin bore a son, He’s the only righteous one
Oh the boy in Bethlehem
Gimme little joy, Gimme little joy, Gimme little joy, for the little baby boy
Gimme little joy for the little baby boy oh the boy in Bethlehem
Sheppard’s in the night they were drawn to the light
Of the boy in Bethlehem
Brought him Frankincense and Myrrh because he is the only cure
Oh the boy in Bethlehem
Gimme little joy, Gimme little joy, Gimme little joy, for the little baby boy
Gimme little joy for the little baby boy oh the boy in Bethlehem
Gonna save us from our sins is there room in the inn?
For the boy from Bethlehem
Let the world rejoice every man has the choice
For the boy in Bethlehem
Gimme little joy, Gimme little joy, Gimme little joy, for the little baby boy
Gimme little joy for the little baby boy oh the boy in Bethlehem
