Song 4: "El Nino Jesus vs Das Weihnachtsmann"
El Nino Jesus is my name
And I bring gifts in sunny Spain
But I don’t come on Christmas Day
I’ll visit your home at Epiphany
We celebrate Holy Innocents
A young boy is looked for and found
And for one day, that boy’s in charge
He can boss everybody around!
Around! Around!
He can boss everybody around!
El Nino Jesus is my name
And I bring gifts in sunny Spain
But I don’t come on Christmas Day
I’ll visit your home at Epiphany
(Spanish dancers leave the stage. German dancers enter)
Christmas-time in Germany
Is such a jolly place to be
It’s so fine!
At Christmas-time
And I am…Das Weih-nachtsmann
Sing to the beat of the marching band
Advent wreaths and red candles in hand
Street markets to honour St Nick
Now I’ve eaten so much I feel sick!
Come quick…’cos…
Christmas-time in Germany
Is such a jolly place to be
It’s so fine!
At Christmas-time
And I am…Das Weih-nachtsmann
