On Christmas Eve, I went for a walk along a busy street
Never expecting the sight I'd see or the man I'd meet
He was dressed up in a pinstripe suit, a stylish hat and tie
There was an old black book he waved in his hand
At the cars that were passing by, and he said,
There'd never be a Rudolph with his nose so bright
And Santa wouldn't fly from the North Pole
on a 'round the world' flight
There wouldn't be pretty presents 'neath the tree with all the lights,
If The Little Baby Jesus Hadn't Been Born in Bethlehem tonight
He was standing on the corner as the cars stopped for the light
He shouted out the name of Jesus, Ooh wee, what a sight
They all got scared and rolled up their windows and tried to hide from view
He shouted the name of Jesus again an said, "Hey, I'm talkin' to you!"
There wouldn't be a Christmas star and no wise men too
And Mary and Joseph be hangin' around, just wond'rin what to do
There wouldn't be twelve apostles and Lazarus would lose his life,
If The Little Baby Jesus Hadn't Been Born in Bethlehem tonight
( Back to "There,d never be a Rudolph" and finish with the chorus. )
