lyrics
The virgin of a carpenter was visited in the night,
By an angel who told her that a baby was in sight.
She had it in a manger and the wise men came with myrrh,
And the angel chorus sang about the miracle birth.
Miracle birth of the lamb of God,
There was no hanky-panky but no one felt odd,
Because the misery of life became the miracle of birth,
And true or not disciples spread it all around the earth.
Origin stories when the planets collide,
And the chaos and the curse of the miracle birth.
And then the existential quandary and the moral quagmire,
Honey, I’m just glad you were born.
I’m just glad you were born,
So I don’t have to be here alone.
A white elephant came to Queen Maya with a lotus,
To tell her she was pregnant which I guess she hadn’t noticed.
So she told it to her husband but her husband didn’t mind,
‘Cause everybody knew the baby coming was divine.
And the villagers rejoiced when the baby sprang forth,
And he took seven steps towards the lotuses in the north.
The wise men wrote it down and they put it in a book,
The story of the Buddha and his miracle birth.
Origin stories…
Zeus woke up with a horrible migraine,
Like someone with a sword was hacking right into his brain.
By noon it got so bad ow thud thud thud,
That he asked Hephaestus to crack his skill.
And out she sprang, a warrior full grown.
Athena, Minerva, a goddess was born.
Once in mortal fear Zeus had swallowed up her mom,
But now everything was cool and everybody got along.
