Merry Xmas, Mister

Jesus came back -- came into the city

Walked up to an ordinary citizen.

Jesus said, “Hey --- maybe you can help me.

(I’ve) got a lot of family here. I’m checkin’ up on them.”

The man said, “Well, --- (you) picked a lousy day.

Holiday like this: everything goes slow.”

Jesus said, “Which --- holiday is this?”

Man said, “Holy Moly, don’t you know?”

Merry Christmas, Mister. You’ve been away awhile and just lost track.

Merry Christmas, Mister. Welcome back.

Jesus said, “Well --- maybe you can tell me,

Christmas, what is that? Is that the word you said?

Man said, “What --- planet do you come from?

Maybe somehow, Mister, you got hit on the head.”

Jesus said, “Worse --- even worse than that.

But tell me, what is Christmas. I am at a loss.”

Man said, “Fine” --- He took him and he showed him

Office parties, Christmas trees and Santa Claus.

Merry Christmas, Mister. You’ve been away awhile and just lost track.

Merry Christmas, Mister. Welcome back.

Jesus said, “Look --- this says Merry X-mas.

What does Xmas mean? Can you explain?”

(The) man said, “No.It’s too complicated.

We are getting nowhere, Mister. What’s your name?”

Jesus stooped down --- (and) writing with his finger

Scribbled out his name in the dust on the ground.

“Hay-Zoose”, said the man --- are you Mexican?

No, I get it now. I’ve seen your picture around.”

My name’s Mohamed. And here’s my buddy, Moses

Now there’s 3 of us, him and me and you.

Take a look around. The world has gone bananas.

Y ou and me and him, we’ve got some work to do.

Merry Christmas, Mister. You’ve been away awhile and just lost track.

Merry Christmas, Mister. Welcome back.
