00:00Everybody, we'd like to sing a traditional Christmas carol that comes all the way from
00:08Ireland tonight and this song tells the story of the first Christmas when all the birds
00:16of Bethlehem gathered round the baby Jesus and sang the carol of the birds to the baby
00:20Jesus.
00:21There's lots of great actions to do and sing along with us and to help us sing the song
00:26we've got a friend of ours from Ireland, how about we give a big Australian welcome to
00:30Morgan Crowley, the Green Wiggle.
00:33Here he comes, Morgan it's great to see you, great to meet you, great that you're here.
00:39We're about to sing Caroo Caroo, would you like to say something to everybody in your
00:43native tongue, Irish?
