Thousands of years later
On the streets of the capital
This same story needs to be told
About a young homeless couple Mary & Joe
Expecting their first baby child
Carpenter Joe had fallen upon hard times
On this cold Christmas eve snow fell to the ground
Desperation showed in their eyes
Walking the streets hungry and tired
A concierge took pity as they passed by
You can sleep in a storeroom at the back
With the paper Mache donkey and angel decorations
Don't tell a soul or you will get me the sack
Mary and Joe settled down for the night
At reception three foreign guests arrived
You should have our booking the name is Wise
And you will have ours said the Persian and Ethiopian men
We were guided here by the review stars
Followed the directions from lands afar
The manager replied you're having me on
Like the three wise men from Bethlehem
We have gifts being delivered we purchased online
It's our custom to give at Christmas time
Mary gave birth at 3am to a baby boy a beautiful child
He is no messiah said Father Joe
We will name his Jesus that's as far it goes
The concierge knocked on their door with breakfast compliments of the staff.
The three foreign guests gave their gifts with pride
When they heard the news of the birth of a new-born child
This is a story everyone knows about a young homeless couple
Mary & Joe
No one should be homeless in wintertime
One day the less fortunate could be you or I
