WE 3 KINGS OF ROCK 'N' ROLL

© 2009

We 3 kings of rock n' roll, saw the star that was foretold.
On our way to Bethlehem, to play the best gig that we can.
For a newborn of this world, who in a maiden's lap is curled.
Bringing incense, mirth and toys, to Joe and Mary's little boy.

Gonna rock that baby, in his starry manger.
Gonna dance and play, in the hay.
'Cause he's so special, he's in great danger.
Wants peace and joy for all, someday.

Gotta keep it soft and low, so King Herod won't know.
Feelin' threatened by a baby, Herod worries that just maybe,
Child waging holy wars,
Conquered kingdoms soon in store.
Cross and flag, unfurled,
Leading armies; spears hurled.

But old Herod's quite insane.
Doesn't know this child's reign,
Is not of this world.

Gonna rock that baby, in his starry manger.
Gonna dance and play, in the hay.
'Cause he's so special, he's in great danger.
Wants peace and joy for all, someday.

We 3 kings of rock n' roll, saw the star that was foretold.
On our way to Bethlehem, to play the best gig that we can.

Gonna rock that baby, in his starry manger.
Gonna dance and play, in the hay.
'Cause he's so special, he's in great danger.
Wants peace and joy for all, someday.
