A New Song (Soon to Be a Classic)

My kids and I can become a group of goof balls when left alone. It will start out innocently enough with singing Christmas carols at the top of our lungs and morph into seeing who can most creatively change the lyrics to one of the songs.


Today, we tackled "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer". Here's the result:

Jesus the Son of God

You know Joseph and Mary and Melchior and Jaspar,

Gabriel, the innkeeper, Caesar Augustus, and Belthasar

But to you recall? The most famous baby of all?

Jesus the Son of God
He was born on Christmas Night
And if you wanted to see him
Just follow the star so bright

All of the other kings
Didn't want Jesus around
Poor little baby Jesus
Had to beat it out of town
(yes we know this part of the song is out of order. But it fit, and hey, we're just having fun!)

Then upon a midnight clear
The angels came to say (LA LA LA)
In the city of David
A savior's born this day!

Oh how the Shepards loved him
And they shouted out with glee (Yippee!)
Jesus the son of God
He was born for you and me!!!!!


We're not quiting any day jobs. But I think we at least get credit for getting the names of all three wise men in there. =)
