1
(This is a parody of Hotel California by The Eagles)
2
From a dark desert highway we pulled into the inn
3
Rome called for a census, I was from Bethlehem
4
Up above from a distance a star was giving me light
5
My wife was heavy 'cause her child was due
6
We had to stop for the night
7
So I stood in the doorway of Bethlehem hotel
8
And I was thinking to myself "I hope to heaven they'll give me some help"
9
But they told us no-can-do and they sent me away
10
"There's a place around the corner though where you both can stay"
11
Welcome, but the hotel can't afford ya
12
Such a lovely place but we're out of space
13
Ran out of room and the hotel can't afford ya
14
It's the time of year with the census here
15
My wife was definitely gifted, that's what the Lord's angel said
16
She was about to have a baby boy while still virgin
17
Spent the night in the barnyard, cheap slumlord's rent
18
Some night to remember, some night to forget
19
So because of what happened I was grieving for my wife
20
I said "They probably haven't cleaned in here since B.C. 65"
21
Animal voices were calling for straw and hay
22
Keeping you up through the middle of the night just as if to say...
23
Welcome, but the hotel can't afford ya
24
Such a lovely place, but we're out of space
25
Holiday rush and the hotel can't afford ya
26
What a nice surprise for your silent night
27
He was born that evening and shepherds came that night
28
And they said "We're all just visitors here of the Holy Christ"
29
And in an ass's manger, they found the boy asleep
30
They started getting teary eyed so they went back to their sheep
31
Last thing I remember there were wise men at the door
32
They had a bunch of packages from the place they were before
33
"We're late," said the wise men "We had problems Christmas Eve
34
We've been checking out your shiny light all through the Middle East"
