Apologetix Manger Lyrics

Manger Lyrics

Girl, use my manger for your darling angel
Cozier than my sheep you ought to
be, Mary
Showed you my stable for my farming animals
Girl, you must spend
the night with these, maybe
Life is one big party when there’s
children
But whose gonna have a bed for your small son?
It’s all
good that you’re little one’s near but
Can’t find a
room –crud! Water broke and now what?
You can rush out to the place I
mentioned 
Spend the night save the money for the rent and 
Keep him there
through your entire vacation
You won’t need reservations – my
barn’s pretty vacant
Girl, use my manger for your darling
baby
Over where Bo Peep would want to be, Mary
Sure, use my stable
– it’s a charming place and 
Girl, you’ll make friends
with cows and sheep, maybe
Sure it’s clean and that’s how you
should be treated
Though you’d better get another one in Egypt

Ruler of Bethlehem is conceited - take it from me kid;
If he comes, beat
it!
But he’s not gonna come tonight; there’s no problem
Not
till talkin’ to some wise men; Herod’s so dumb
But the free
room that I have for you is ho hum
He could search for so long and still
never see your son
Girl, use my manger for your darling baby
Clothe Him
with white sheets or else he’ll freeze, Mary
Showed you my stable
– what are all these angels?
Girl, I might end up on my knees,
maybe
Girl, there’s probably gonna be a crowd
So let me see your
child –He must be sent from up above
And He appears to be so tender
and so nice and friendly
I think He’s givin’ me a
hug
Girl’, there’s probably gonna be a crowd
So, let me see
your child –He must be sent from up above
And He appears to be so
tender and so like the shepherds
I’m thankin’ Heaven He has
come
Tonight it’s one big party ‘cause it’s God’s
son
But you’d better watch your back when it’s all
done
It’s all good that your little one’s here
but
Can’t be a fool, hon – what about the law, mon?
You can
call on divine intervention
But shiny light gives you very much
attention
It could lead to my incarceration
I wanna tell the nations, but
I think I’ll wait some

Luke 2:7
And she gave birth to her
firstborn, a son. 
She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger,

because there was no room for them in the inn.
