<P> The lyrics have been altered to remove content from the original song long considered offensive, so that today only the chorus is sung . The original version reads thus: </P> <P> I think I hear the angels sing, I think I hear the angels sing, I think I hear the angels sing, The angels now are on the wing . I feel, I feel, I feel, That's what my mother said, The angels pouring' lasses down, Upon this nigger's head . Shew! fly, don't bother me, Shew! fly, don't bother me, Shew! fly, don't bother me, I belong to Comp'ny G . I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel like a morning star, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel like a morning star . I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel like a morning star . I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel like a morning star . If I sleep in the sun this nigger knows, If I sleep in the sun this nigger knows, If I sleep in the sun this nigger knows, A fly come sting him on the nose . I feel, I feel, I feel, That's what my mother said, Whenever this nigger goes to sleep, He must cover up his head . Shew! fly, don't bother me, Shew! fly, don't bother me, Shew! fly, don't bother me, I belong to Comp'ny G . I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel like a morning star, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel like a morning star . I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel like a morning star . I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel like a morning star . </P> <P> In the 1998 Disney / Pixar film A Bug's Life, one of the characters references the song's title . The Australian children's show Play School recorded a version for the albums There's A Bear In There, sung by Noni Hazlehurst, and In The Car, sung by John Hamblin . </P>
