the school nativity play
The children were all gathered to perform the Christmas play
They'd been rehearsed they were well versed in what they had to say
The parents were all gathered with smiles and brimming eyes
About to find that Christmas will involve the odd surprise
Joseph and his virgin Mary were first to join the fray
To Bethlehem To Bethlehem on their merry way
Mary said I'm pregnant Jo, I really need a rest
Joseph said - you're not - that's just a jumper up your vest
The Shepherds they were watching as their flock all grazed by night
And suddenly above them appeared a blazing light
First shepherd cried "We're chosen - it's the Son of God I bet"
But was convoked by number two it was a Jumbo Jet
Gabriel was sulking coz he didn't like his part
He wanted to be Joseph, knew the words all off by heart
When he appeared to Mary his face was very glum 'til he lifted up his long white robe and showed the world his bum
The Inn keeper was waiting, he was eager and excited
His parents sat there beaming they were clearly quite delighted
He opened up his door and with a very winning grin
Said rooms - yes we've got dozens take your coat off and come in
The first wise man he told the crowd they'd travelled from afar
The second one assured them that he'd come in his Dad's car
The third he looked confused and with a voice that sounded tense shouted - I know about the Gold but what the hell is Frankincense
And so the play drew to a close in a manger all serene
With bated breath the audience took in the closing scene
Joseph looked around around the room - a silence fell , it's true
He cried 'Our Mary's had a girl- we're going to call her Sue'
