The Three Kings and I (What Really Happened)

O Holy night
 The stars are brightly shining
 It is the night of our dear savior's birth
 ♪
 Now you all heard the story about Bethlehem
 How the child was born and the three wise men
 Heard the preacher tell it like the preacher does
 But let me tell you, children
 That's not how it was
 Now you might ask me what I'm talking about
 But I know the part that they all left out
 Yes, I do
 Now do you hear what I said
 That Herod wanted those wise men dead
 But on that blessed evening
 My great great great great great great granddad
 He saved those kings
 ♪
 Now granddad made his living
 Playing jazz you see
 But jazz wasn't big around one A. D
 So he got himself a job in the palace band
 Where he heard about three kings
 In the desert sand
 Let me tell you children that at any time
 Three kings in the desert that's a real rare find
 Yes, it is
 But Herod heard of it too
 And when he heard his curiosity grew
 So he asked those kings to drop by
 And my great great great great great great
 Granddad
 He wondered why
 ♪
 So the Magi told old Herod
 That they had come here
 To find a newborn king of kings
 Who'd heal our sins
 Then old Herod told his guards
 To follow those Magi
 And that the only king around here
 Was gonna' be him
 Then he told his soldiers as I recall
 When they found that child, to kill them all
 But granddad overheard what Herod said
 And he had to act fast or else they'd all be dead
 Yes, they would
 So granddad got to those kings
 Filled them in on the plan, told them everything
 When they heard what he had in store
 They grabbed the gold
 The frankincense
 The myrrh, the jewels
 The desert tents
 And when they found
 His plan was sound
 They followed granddad out the back door
 Yes, they did
 ♪
 They followed him down
 ♪
 And what a night
 It must have been
 But when God is on your side
 You kinda' know that in the end
 You're gonna win
 They traveled fast
 They traveled far
 And in the end they found
 That they were standing with the Child
 Beneath the star
 Hallelujah, Hallelujah
 Hallelujah, Hallelujah
 Hallelujah, Hallelujah
 Hallelujah, Hallelujah
 Hallelujah, Hallelujah
 Hallelujah, Hallelujah
 ♪
 And so you see we've reached the end
 Of our story
 When granddad and the kings
 Reached that stable on the hill
 And while I said that
 Three kings in the desert is a rare sight
 Angels singing in the desert that's far rarer still
 Now I ain't sayin' that the bible was wrong
 But ya' see the whole tale
 Would have taken too long
 'Cause way back then in the promised land
 Every copy they sold
 It had to be written by hand
 And granddad lived a long life
 Stayed friends with those kings
 And found a good wife
 And eventually I came along
 But that my children
 That my children
 That's another song
