Mary and Joseph

Lyrics

Sweet Mary and Joseph In a rocket machine Where travelling the void With not a star to be seen Deep out there in space With no-one to help them Not a gentle kind face After millions of miles Came a bright silver star With planets and moons All arrayed near and far Now there's hope for the future A place to lay down The son of God's coming soon Now the planet of fire He would not let them land And the planet of water He couldn't understand But the green pastoral Earth He beckoned them down They came singing with mirth That night they took shelter In a Holiday Inn And Mary in labour Her pains did begin And her baby was born To the sound of the truck drivers Blowing their horns Far from the East Came the Kremlin's top brass From the West came the President And his aides smoking grass From the North came the Queen From the South came the black brothers Ending his dream
