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
Geez, 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 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 mom a dress
He could make a celebrity us
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 board that talks
And a paper-fate balloon
He could walk across Lake Pontchartrain
Pull water from a stone
Just think of all the things we'd do
With a miracle of our own
I saw him climb through the vine
That's a lie
No, it wasn't him
Why do you think he'd pick that vine?
Where's he going?
Where's he been?
Wow, if we got Jesus on our side
That would make us all too strong
Imagine that, if 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
Don't, maybe he's Shrek
Let's go and get a Bible
We'll make him take a test
I'll bet they'd try and hurt him
We'll do whatever it takes
He once saved us, now we'll save him
We're all he's got for heaven's sake
He'd stop the teachers hitting us
The grown-ups wouldn't act so bad
We'd get more toys and lots of love
Much more than we ever had
Shhhh
