Christ Was Born

Parody of "China Grove" by The Doobie Brothers
Parody Lyrics by Jeff James (the Paro-dud)
Then that Joe goes up to a sleepy little town 'cause of the census from
Rome.
'Twas a long, hard ride from that Nazareth way. Bethlehem was his home.
The Sleep Inn at the town was sated, so they wound up in a stable.

CHORUS:
Well, I'm talking 'bout eve' Christ was born.
Wo-oh-oh, wo-oh, Christ was born.

Well, the dear One made appearance. Lord was a-watchin'. He was the Son of
the One.
No apostles. Shepherds findin' (thank the angels in sky), at the Son,
they're fallin' down.
And Mary was still a virgin, and we're preserved from our sin.

Chorus

And then one day, there were some kings coming. They traced out the
ornamental route,
But Herod and his buddies intercepted before. You could really hear the
cruelness that night,
But God warned Joseph of odious fate. Herod's hopes flee in air.
Then Egypt, and look for Nazareth.

Chorus
Note: Jeff James has written several Parodeities over the years. He has been gracious enough to rewrite many of the parodies appearing in the Parodeity section on Webster. He's done a great job improving some of these tunes in subtle and not-so-subtle ways. I'm absolutely thrilled that he has taken it upon himself to make these improvements; I had hoped when I put all my work in the public domain that it would encourage some people to make these types of modifications to the Parodeities to improve them. It is exciting to see someone doing this kind of work; I hope that Jeff's excellent work will encourage others to write new parodies or "ReVerse" existing parodeities. -- Randy Hyde

BTW, if you don't understand the "Paro-Dud" moniker, visit ApologetiX' site and check out the name of Karl Messner's production company; then you'll probably get the play on words.
