baby jesus had us all in stitches
he did the water
he did the wine
he did his best with all those
weeping witches
but they cried, cried, cried
cried for a long time
and they cried all night

baby if you're gonna weep right thru my coat
choke and motorboat
it won't float
we'll never have
well maybe not 'never' have
hope, peace and release

baby jesus wasn't hung up or stuck up
or fucked up
he had a hammer
he had a pin
swung at the bugs in summer
that stuff was drawn to him and he cried
cried for a long time
and they cried all night
cried for a long time
and they cried all night

baby are you're gonna keep hoein' that row
listen let it go
it's all coal
we'll never have
well maybe not 'never' have
hope, peace and release
