- Birds up in the tretops singing,
- Fum, fum, fum!
- Birds up in the tretops singing,
- Fum, fum, fum!
- Leave your babies now and fly to
- Where the Holy Babe does lie,
- Build a nest for Him to sleep in,
- Soft and safe wherein to keep Him,
- Fum, fum, fum!

- Bright stars shining in the heavens,
- Fum, fum, fum!
- Bright stars shining in the heavens,
- If you see the Baby crying
- Do not answer with a sigh,
- But pour all your brightness on Him,
- Banish darkness all around Him,
- Fum, fum, fum!
