Origin of "The Carpenter Shop" a children's song about Jesus?
Can anyone tell me more about this children's song? These are the Lyrics I have:
Chorus:
The carpenter shop, the carpenter shop. With a bang bing bam and a bing bang pop. The work just never seems to stop. The work goes on in the carpenter shop.
Verse 1:
Jesus worked and worked all day. In the carpenter shop so far away, Hammering and sawing at the bottom and top. The work goes on in the carpenter shop.
Verse 2:
Jesus was a builder indeed. Building things for people's needs. Where the work just never seems to stop. The work goes on in the carpenter shop"
The only information I can find on the web is that Floyd Robinson's "Charlie the Hamster" sang it on CHARLIE THE HAMSTER VISITS THE HOLY LAND.
Did Floyd write the words, or is it a traditional song?
Are there other words/versions?
Any dates, copyright information?
This song was included in a songbook I compiled and printed in 2008, and I am searching again for information before I reprint it.
