Sleepy Shepherds
£3.75
‘Sleepy Shepherds’ is fun primary school Christmas song for your Nativity or Christmas Concert/Assembly.
Obviously when you are a shepherd and counting sheep you are going to get a little bit sleepy! With its Latin-inspired, Rumba style, ‘Sleepy Shepherds’, is great primary school Christmas song for your Nativity or Christmas Concert/Assembly. The chorus makes humorous use of the sheep (which are often left out!) with its ‘Baaaa’ words and you could even have one group of children as the shepherds behaving rather sleepily, and one as the sheep who become increasingly irritated as the shepherds won’t wake up to visit Baby Jesus!
You could choose ‘Sleepy Shepherds’ as part of a selection of Christmas songs to go with our flexible ‘A Simple Nativity’ scripts or have them all to choose from with our ‘A Simple Nativity’ Performance Pack. You could even put together one of your own as there are songs covering all aspects of the Nativity to make your Christmas really special.
Included in your song pack:
- audio file of backing track with instruments playing the melody in mp3 format
- song words in PDF format
- sheet music in PDF format
- PowerPoint of song words

Sleepy Shepherds
V1
Wake up you sleepy shepherds
Up on the hill,
You have a special job to do,
It is God’s will.
Wake up you sleepy shepherds,
No time for sleep,
Head off to Bethlehem
Instead of counting sheep!
Chorus
Baaaaaa, baa, baa, baa, baa, baaaa,
Baa, baa, baa, baa, baaaa,
Baa, baa, baa, baaaaaa.
Baaaaaa, baa, baa, baa, baa, baaaa,
Baa, baa, baa, baa, baaaa,
Baa, baa, baa, baaaaaa.

Wake up you sleepy shepherds
This starry night,
God’s Holy Son is born
To fill the world with light.
Wake up you sleepy shepherds,
No time for sleep,
Head off to Bethlehem
Instead of counting sheep!
Chorus
V3
Wake up you sleepy shepherds
We do declare,
He’s in a draughty stable,
Go and find Him there.
Wake up you sleepy shepherds,
No time for sleep,
Head off to Bethlehem
Instead of counting sheep!

(Shout) WAKE UP!
