Fool – Splashes of Ink

The Alternative Three Magi!

Opus 10 No. 7

Everyone

“It was the first century…
and Herod had just lost the
seasonal supermarket chain war
– again…!”


1st Verse

From all the way in Lapland
To Bethlehem with presents
Came Santa Claus and Rudolf 
Wearing their bright green panties

Santa Claus gave lace up boots
Much bigger than stocking size
He also gave shaving kit
For when Jesus gets baptised

Mr Spock!


2nd Verse

Mr Spock from the Starship
Came from yonder Galaxy
His gift for the young baby
Was a large tube of Smarties

He also had other gifts
From great planets far and wide
But he lost them all
Oh dear!
When the Starship fell over


3rd Verse

The third wiseman was lanky
He wrote music for the Tsars
Moved from Russia to the States
This Sergei Rachmaninoff

His gift was not all that good
But must be played with left toe
Softly and quietly
A lullaby for a King
A full-size grand piano


Traditional Polish Lullaby

Close your eyes, Jesus, dear
Hush all Your sighing
Mary is holding You
No need for crying
