Twenty fifth Day of December
Fum, fum, fum!
Twenty fifth Day of December
Fum, fum, fum!
For the love of man is given
The holy infant, son of heaven
Of the holy virgin springing
Peace on earth and good will bringing
Fum, fum, fum!
Birds that live within the forest
Fum, fum, fum!
Birds that live within the forest
Fum, fum, fum!
All you fledglings leave behind
And seek the infant Saviour kind.
Build, as well as you are able
Downy nest to be his cradle
Fum, fum, fum!
Little stars up in the heavens
Fum, fum, fum!
Little stars up in the heavens
Fum, fum, fum!
If you see the baby cry
O do not answer with a sigh
Form the skies your radiance beaming
Pierce the darkness with your gleaming
Fum, fum, fum!
About this song Fum Fum Fum

Fum is pronounced foom, with a short `oo' to imitate the sound of strumming of a guitar. While singing, "Fum fum fum" is usually accompanied by clapping of hands.
