story behind the song: one two many nativity scenes or drinks or something like that. Also inspired by the ghost of christmas presents (the ones never bought because they were spent on other things) and an elfin former santa impersonator, both in fine holiday spirits
Lyrics
thought i'd maybe walk on over to Bethlehem
but they tell me its too far
gotta cross some old mountains and a big bunch of water
like i was following some star
thought maybe i'd wake up Moses
hear he's good at partying or something
and maybe get Ezekiel
in case i run out of wings
(or whiskey?)
(or beer ?)
or whiskey or beer
among other things
great reason to party
just need a little time
to sleep it off
thought maybe i'd sleep in the stable
its warmer there this time of year
pay for lodgings when and if i'm able
not too often, gotta pay for this beer
thought maybe i'd wake up Jesus
say "man, this is where you was born"
even though i'm told it was closer to September
another party, hell what's the harm
(once is great but twice is charmed)
and there's suppose to be twelve days of this
(this merry,
merry
christmas)
great reason to party
just need a little time
to sleep it off
