Lo and behold, shazam! Don't ask you know I am
The captain of this host with flappers floating on their shoulder pads
Whoa man, now don't be panicked The only word I'm told to pass is
That of gladness: this globe now has the Holy Lamb
Jehovah's plan to reclaim all his chosen fam
From atrocious hands is manifested in skin and bones
And wrapped in grody rags, Christ is here, nah mean?
So climb the nearest peak and shout till you're slicing Herod's dreams screamin'
This day in history, your Savior's living in David's city
Simply stated: the Baby's lain in a manger, silly!
His name is Prince of Peace, came to save you from Satan's wicked schemes
And give His Seed while you were astray like little sheep
And if you think I'm kidding, go to Bethlehem and see
Tell your neighbor, tell a stranger and every shepherd friend you meet
That the King of Heavenlies has just now sent down His Promise
So climb the Mount of Olives now and loudly shout the knowledge, Christ is born!
