Long Overdue For A Miracle

Can it be true?
Well what do you think
Does he have those big blue eyes
Everyone's whispering back in town
I bet it's a pack of lies
I bet he needs a bath
Do you think that he can drive?
We ought to dress up really nice
It's great if he's alive
Does he have a crown of thorns?
The greatest story ever told
Jeez he must be hungry
Lord he must be old
He could turn us into angels
He could bless us with a kiss
Do you think that he likes gumbo?
Do you think that he likes Elvis?

Just imagine what would happen if all of this was true
All the other kids would envy us we're long overdue
Long overdue for a miracle, we're long overdue for a miracle.

He could get my dad a job
He could get my mum a dress
He could make us all have x-ray eyes
He'll make us all confess
Let's throw him a big party, it's Christmas pretty soon
We'll get a clown and a bird that talks
And a big birthday balloon
He could walk across Lake Ponchartrain
Draw water from a stone
Just think of all the things we'd do with a miracle of our own
I saw him crawling through the bayou
That's a lie
No it was him!
Why'd you think he picked that barn?
Where's he going?
Where's he been?

Wow if we got Jesus on our side, that'll make us awful strong
Imagine that if it all came true, we're long overdue
Long overdue for a miracle, we're long overdue for a miracle.

We gotta go and see him now
No maybe he should rest
Let's go and get a bible
We'll make him take a test
I bet that they'll try and hurt him
We'll do what ever it takes
He once saved us now we'll save him
We're all he's got for heavens sake
He'd stop the teachers hitting us
The grownups wouldn't act so bad
We'd get more toys and lots of love
Much more than we'd ever had.
