| Our child arrived just the other day
 | 
| He came to the world as the Truth and the Way
 | 
| But they were trained to catch and kill the babe
 | 
| We learned to watch out and run away
 | 
| But He was born before they knew it or had a clue
 | 
| I said, my son will be like You, God
 | 
| I know He’s gonna be like You
 | 
| And the Christ’s in the stable
 | 
| Cause they filled the rooms
 | 
| Little boy, who are You? | 
| Man, if they knew!
 | 
| When they gonna know that? | 
| I don’t know when
 | 
| But we’ll get to Heaven then
 | 
| You know we’ll have a good time then
 | 
| Our son went to temple the other day
 | 
| I said, Thanks for the boy, God -- His mom just prayed
 | 
| Then two people who showed up had a lot to say
 | 
| And they were prophets, too, I said that’s so strange
 | 
| And they walked away, but they smiled as they did, I said
 | 
| My goodness, they liked Him, yeah
 | 
| You know, they really seemed to like Him
 | 
| And the Christ in the stable
 | 
| Will fulfill them soon
 | 
| Little boy, who are You? | 
| Man, if they knew!
 | 
| When they gonna know that? | 
| I don’t know when
 | 
| But we’ll get to Heaven then
 | 
| You know we’ll have a good time then
 | 
| Well, they came a-callin' just the other day
 | 
| Such nice wise men, I just had to say
 | 
| Wondered how they knew and brought gifts for the child
 | 
| Just look, they said, overhead, with a smile
 | 
| Well, it’s really quite rad but we followed the star’s beams
 | 
| To see the leader that its advent means
 | 
| And the Christ in the stable
 | 
| Will fulfill them soon
 | 
| Little boy, who are You? | 
| Man, if they knew!
 | 
| When they gonna know, Son? | 
| I don’t know when
 | 
| But we’ll get to Heaven then, yeah
 | 
| I know we’ll have a good time then
 | 
| My lungs seem so tired, my son’s come of age
 | 
| I call Him «son» for His mother’s sake
 | 
| I said, I’d like to see You fulfill those signs
 | 
| Except my health’s too bad
 | 
| Look like it’s time to die
 | 
| You see, I knew God could handle anything You’ll go through
 | 
| But it’s sure nice watchin' Him do that
 | 
| It’s been sure nice adoptin' You too
 | 
| And as I run up to go into eternity
 | 
| Jehovah, yes, I see
 | 
| My boy looks just like Thee
 | 
| And the Christ in the stable
 | 
| Will be killed real soon
 | 
| Little boy, who are You? | 
| Man, if they knew!
 | 
| When they gonna know the Son? | 
| I don’t know when
 | 
| But they’ll get to Heaven then, yeah
 | 
| They’re gonna have a good time then |
