Baby Jesus lyrics

You know that statue

That statue of baby Jesus

In the window

In the window of the 99 cent store

Last night I saw the owner kiss it

And whisper in its ear

I was walking home from Walgreen's

And he did not hear me see him

And on the very, very next morning

All the subway cars were hallelu-leluing

Welcome back the baby king, the baby king

All the believers, they were smiling

And winking at each other

I could honestly say I was

Scared for my life!

They said:

All the non-believers, they get to eat dirt

And the believers get to spit on their graves

All the non-believers, they get to eat dirt

And the believers get to spit on their graves

All non-believers

All non-believers

All non-believers

All non-believers

All non-believers

All non-believers

You know that statue

That statue of baby Jesus

In the window

In the window of the 99 cent store

Well, they've been showing it on the news

It was thirty times its size

With a megaphone and a heart-shaped bruise

It was hovering in the skies

And all the

Subway cars were hallelu-lelu-leluing

Hallelujah

Welcome back the baby king, the baby king

All the believers they were smiling

And winking at each other

I could honestly say I was

Scared for my life!

They said:

All the non-believers, they get to eat dirt

And the believers get to spit on their graves

All the non-believers, they get to eat dirt

And the believers get to spit on their graves

All non-believers

All non-believers

All non-believers

All non-believers

All non-believers

All non-believers

Believe!

Believe!

Believe, believe, believe!

Believe!

Believe!

Believe, believe, believe!

Believebelievebelievebelievebelievebelievebelievebelievebelieve

Believe...

You know that statue

That statue of baby Jesus

In the window

In the window of the 99 cent store

When I woke up I ran and bought it

And locked it in my closet

With a little bread and water

And a flashlight and a first-aid kit

Till he grows
