07 Nov 08 - 03:26 AM (#2487240) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Baby In My Dinner! From: GUEST,Geoff the Duck About 9 or 10 years back, we heard it in our local primary school Infants Nativity Play. It was after the baby Jesus had arrived and had been laid on a bed of hay. It was a comment from the donkey/ass probably around the time shepherds or kings were visiting. I cannot recall if it was a songs worth or just a short filler. My recollection is of of the kids singing :- Ee-aw ee-aw, doesn't anybody care. There's a baby in my dinner, and they just don't care. At the time we thouhght it was a marvellous line. I've asked our Maddie, who was the infant in the play, but she doesn't remember any more than that either. Quack! GtD. |

From: Mrs.Duck Unfortunately these nativity plays are written and sold to primary schools and I haven't yet come across the one they did that contained that song. Maybe the twins could ask one of their teachers if they have it still in school but to get hold of the sheet music you'd have to purchase the whole thing and they do not come cheap. |

From: GUEST,Me Hee-haw, hee-haw does anybody care There's a baby in my dinner and its just not fair Jesus in the manger lying in the hay far too young to realise he's getting in the way I don't blame the baby not his fault at all but his parents really should respect a donkey's feeding stall After all that journey with my heavy load did I ever once conplain about that dreadful road I can cope with the backache and these swollen feet all I ask is some respect and one square meal to eat "Be prepared", I told them better book ahead Joseph said "Don't be an ass" and took a chance instead Now they've pinched my bedroom people are so rude I can cope with that but not a baby in my food |

Using your info in a web search brings us the publisher's web site and the author's books :- Michael Forster He seems to be a prolific writer of Christian stuff for schools. Unfortunately when you click on book titles for further info, not many of them give anything particularly informative to someone who doesn't already have the book. The song title is however listed here :- Bumper Book of Assemblies - Book 2. Quack! GtD. |
