Squeeze - Christmas Day lyrics

Mary and Joseph drove into town,

Searching for a place to stay.

The moon was up, and his foot was down

A miracle was on its way.

They tried the hotels, the motels, the bed-and-breakfast

Locals, but no one seemed to have any room.

Better find a double room soon!

Chorus:

So where would Christmas be without...

Mary and Joseph?

Walk of the Wise?

Laurel and holly?

Cracker Surprise?

Lights on the pine tree?

And more aftershave?

I'm not forgetting Jesus who was born on Christmas Day!

They found a place with the neon lights

TV, Pool, and Vacancies

The man at the desk didn't hear them right

When the two of them booked for three.

They watched the TV

And deeply, she thought about the needing

Of the heavens to deliver this way

And it happened on Christmas Day

Christmas Daaaaaaaaaaaaaay..

Christmas Daaaaaaaaaaaaaay..

Chorus

Mary and Joseph were so surprised

With admirers around the crib

There was something in their son's eyes

They identically took one in.

Like a Messiah, and a Fire

Like the tread around a tire

That grip all roads

It's to bond you there.

And it happened on Christmas Day!

Christmas daaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

Christmas daaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

Chorus, "Not forgetting Jesus.."
