Harry Belafonte is still a raging moonbat, but IMO this is one of the prettiest Christmas songs ever recorded. I was curious, so I looked it up on Wikipedia.
Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day.Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new King born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day.While shepherds watched their flock by night
And see a bright new shining star
And hear a choir sing
The music seem to come from afar.Now Joseph and his wife Mary
Come to Bethlehem that night
They found no place to bear her child
Not a single room was in sight.Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new King born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day.By and by they find a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary's little boy was born.Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new King born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day.
I've got places to go and people to see over the next few days. So I'll wish you all a Merry Christmas and I'll see you in the (Happy?) New Year.
