Starshine Singers - Rat, Tat, Tat-A-Ta-Tat

Rat, tat, rat-a-ta-tat at my window shutters,
Knock! Knock! At my door.
Who’s that tapping at my window shutters,
Knock! Knock! At my door?

There’s no use a-knocking, I’ve no room to spare
And I really do not care.
There’s no use a-knocking, he’s no room to spare
And he really does not care.
But Joseph said:
Please will you help us?
We’re tired and worn.
Have you a place where
Our child can be born?

Rat, tat, rat-a-ta-tat at my window shutters,
Knock! Knock! At my door.
Who’s that tapping at my window shutters,
Knock! Knock! At my door?

There’s no use a-knocking, not a single bed.
Should have called and booked ahead.
There’s no use a-knocking, not a single bed.
Should have called and booked ahead
But Joseph said:
Please will you help us?
We’re tired and worn.
Have you a place where
Our child can be born?

Rat, tat, rat-a-ta-tat at my window shutters,
Knock! Knock! At my door.
Who’s that tapping at my window shutters,
Knock! Knock! At my door?

I’m sorry to tell you I’ve no room to spare,
But I have a stable bare.

He’s sorry to tell you he’s no room to spare,
But he has a stable bare.
And we all say:
Thank you for helping.
They’re tired and worn.
Now they’ve a place where
Their child can be born.
