Lyrics:

La la la la...

A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar
It was light years of time since his mission did start
And over a village he halted his craft
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star

He followed a light and came down to a shed
Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed
A bright light of silver shone round his head
And he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid

when the stranger spoke, he said 'Do not fear
I come from a planet a long way from here
And I bring a message for mankind to hear'
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air

And it went la la la la...
Peace and good will to all men and love for the child

This lovely music went trembling through the ground
And many were wakened on hearing the sound
And travellers on the road the village they found
By the light of that ship in the sky which shone all around

And just before dawn at the paling of the sky
The stranger returned and said: 'Now I must fly
When two thousand years of your time has gone by
This song will begin once again to a baby's cry'

And it went la la la la...
This song will begin once again to a baby's cry

And it goes la la la la...
Peace and good will to all men and love for the child
La la la la...
