Christmas Song

She was his girl; he was her boyfriend

She'd be his wife and make him her husband

A surprise on the way, any day, any day

One healthy little giggling dribbling baby boy

The wise men came, three made their way

To shower him with love

While he lay in the hay

Shower him with love love love

Love love love

Love love was all around

Not very much of his childhood was known

Kept his mother Mary worried

Always out on his own

He met another Mary who for a reasonable fee,

less than reputable was known to be.

His heart full of love love love

Love love love

Love love was all around

When Jesus Christ was nailed to his tree

Said "oh, Daddy-o, I can see how it all soon will be

I came to shed a little light on this darkening scene

Instead I fear I've spilled the blood of our children all around"

The blood of our children all around

The blood of our children's all around

So I'm told, so the story goes

The people he knew were

Less than golden hearted

Gamblers and Robbers

Drinkers and Jokers, all soul searchers

Like you and me

Like you and me

Rumors insisted he soon would be

For his deviations

Taken into custody

By the authorities less informed than he.

Drinkers and Jokers all soul searchers

Searching for love love love

Love love love

Love love was all around

Preparations were made

For his celebration day

He said "eat this bread and think of it as me

Drink this wine and dream it will be

The blood of our children all around

The blood of our children's all around

The blood of our children all around

Father up above, why in all this anger do you fill

Me up with love, love, love

Love love love

Love love was all around

Father up above, why in all this hatred do you fill

Me up with love, fill me love love love

Love love love

all you need is love

you can't buy me love

Love love love

Love love

And the blood of our children's all around
