Holiday Inn

Lyrics

Well, they rode into town in the dark By the light of the moon Mary felt her Baby and she knew That it was coming soon All they needed was a small room Where she could lay her head And all they wanted for Jesus was a bed Well, they stopped at the Holiday Inn There was a convention They said, "Sorry, ain't got no room Without a reservation But I'm sure if I call ahead Well, I can find you a bed But you might have to wait 'til morning instead" Well, if they'd known Baby Jesus was King And if they'd known He created everything I feel sure they'd given Him the executive suite But as it was, they just got sent on down the street Well, they walked a bit further 'Til they came to another inn And the man said, "Sorry, we're full But y'all come back again" Well, now Joe said it could not wait 'Cause it was getting late He said, "My wife's going to have A Baby today" Well, the man said, "All I've got to offer Is a little old shack And you can find it if you look real hard It's out around back Well, chase those cattle out And move some things about I'll see you in the morning And don't forget to check out" Well, if he'd known Baby Jesus was King And if he'd known He created everything I feel sure He'd found them a better place to stay But as it was, Baby Jesus got born there in the hay Well, now I know that my Jesus Well, He's King And I know He created everything That's why I've given Him The best room from the start And that's why Jesus Makes His home inside of my heart
