One Night in Bethlehem (Parody of "One Night in Bangkok")

Lyrics

Bankrupt, boring little city
 And the city don't know what a gift it is getting
 But crammed Bethlehem has a guest star in her
 Who goes with everything at Yule dinner
 I'm surprised no one seemed to visit
 Since the former king and psalmist was once born in it
 Saul came, don't you know he then moved
 David's his general, you can't fault him for that can you?
 He's fightin' with the Philistines -- why waste time -- on -- on this place?
 One night in Bethlehem the world played hostess
 The barn was simple but it sure came cheap
 The Son of God would change the winter solstice
 And if you're looking at the goats and sheep
 I can see an angel flying up to me
 Young child, Mary was his mother
 But they'll head down over to Egypt, brother
 There's a dragnet involved, it's really such a pity
 Herod's looking for the boy – not looking apathetic
 Wait a minute
 He thinks one child can politically bring him down?
 Jesus, young and sweet (young, sweet)
 King Herod's fed up and things are gonna get ugly
 That guy's a tough Tyrannosaurus
 Whose every move is fast and furious
 I'd get my kid across the state line at crunch time
 One night in Bethlehem the start was humble
 Not much to see but there was history
 One guy was sent to end the 12 Tribes' troubles
 So be prepared to meet your coming king
 I can see the Gentiles watch expectantly
 Wise men are gonna be in Guinness
 As the ultimate quest to celebrate Christmas
 These gifts seem more than you'd have
 Brought a young ruler of the Tribe of Judah
 Praise God, He's always watching His Word, fulfilling it
 I don't see two guys raised in
 The time and place Zion's prophets placed Him
 I'll bet you lunch you couldn't find two
 But it seems these clues do not entice you
 So you'd better go back to the start, and the symbols from your forefathers
 One night in Bethlehem the world rejoices
 The barn's no temple, but that Boy's a Priest
 It's time for God so raise your golden voices
 He's in the flesh, a little mystery
 I can see the angels flying just to see
 One night in Bethlehem the start was humble
 Not much to see but there was history
 The Christ was sent to end the 12 Tribes' troubles
 And with a careful look at prophecy
 I can see a dreidel on your Christmas tree
