Jesus Gonna Have a Good Birthday
Simon Cleary
Second generation tradesman
No digs in Nazareth at this time of year
Dodging me a census taker
Out of Egypt aint that a bitch
Mary and Joe well they’re all alone
The publican cries Got no room tonight
Maybe Jesus aint gonna have such a good birthday
Gabriel sent us down the East Side
Straight down the boulevard left at the lights
Outside of Bethlehem Station
Herod aside best find a midwife
Three wise guys well let’s call them magi
Away in a manger sung by Old Blue Eyes
Maybe Jesus gonna have yourself a good birthday
And Mary lay down on that first Christmas day
She gots a God in the oven
Everybody coming to say
Oi Jesus have yourself a good birthday
Jesus gonna have a good birthday
