| Girl, use my manger for your darling angel
|
| Cozier than my sheep you ought to be, Mary
|
| Showed you my stable for my farming animals
|
| Girl, you must spend the night with these, maybe
|
| Life is one big party when there’s children
|
| But whose gonna have a bed for your small son?
|
| It’s all good that you’re little one’s near but
|
| Can’t find a room â€"crud! Water broke and now what?
|
| You can rush out to the place I mentioned
|
| Spend the night save the money for the rent and
|
| Keep him there through your entire vacation
|
| You won’t need reservations â€" my barn’s pretty vacant
|
| Girl, use my manger for your darling baby
|
| Over where Bo Peep would want to be, Mary
|
| Sure, use my stable â€" it’s a charming place and
|
| Girl, you’ll make friends with cows and sheep, maybe
|
| Sure it’s clean and that’s how you should be treated
|
| Though you’d better get another one in Egypt
|
| Ruler of Bethlehem is conceited — take it from me kid;
|
| If he comes, beat it!
|
| But he’s not gonna come tonight; |
| there’s no problem
|
| Not till talkin' to some wise men; |
| Herod’s so dumb
|
| But the free room that I have for you is ho hum
|
| He could search for so long and still never see your son
|
| Girl, use my manger for your darling baby
|
| Clothe Him with white sheets or else he’ll freeze, Mary
|
| Showed you my stable â€" what are all these angels?
|
| Girl, I might end up on my knees, maybe
|
| Girl, there’s probably gonna be a crowd
|
| So let me see your child â€"He must be sent from up above
|
| And He appears to be so tender and so nice and friendly
|
| I think He’s givin' me a hug
|
| Girl', there’s probably gonna be a crowd
|
| So, let me see your child â€"He must be sent from up above
|
| And He appears to be so tender and so like the shepherds
|
| I’m thankin' Heaven He has come
|
| Tonight it’s one big party ‘cause it’s God’s son
|
| But you’d better watch your back when it’s all done
|
| It’s all good that your little one’s here but
|
| Can’t be a fool, hon â€" what about the law, mon?
|
| You can call on divine intervention
|
| But shiny light gives you very much attention
|
| It could lead to my incarceration
|
| I wanna tell the nations, but I think I’ll wait some
|
| Luke 2:7
|
| And she gave birth to her firstborn, a son
|
| She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger
|
| Because there was no room for them in the inn |
