Neighbor, neighbor
What has you so excited?
Do tell me, please
Haven't you heard?
A boy is born that all want to see

Son of a pure and modest virgin
Mary's her name
They say her baby is the savior
Prophets proclaim

It would be pleasant to go with you
Likely I'll go
But can we take our time to see them?
Why hurry so?
Have you some cake to take the infant?
Sugar-plums, too?
I'm sure that Mary's house is lovely
Tidy and new
