Well a long time ago in a land called Bethlehem
Was born to Mary and Joseph the great I am
And they sang that Christmas morning
Oh a Saviour has been born
And it happened a long time ago in a land called Bethlehem
Well a long time ago when a wise man roamed the land
They saw a shiny star above the dessert sand
Well they hopped the camels that night and rode by the pale moonlight
And it happened a long time ago in a land called Bethlehem
Well it happened a long
A long
Oh a long time ago in a land called Bethlehem
And they sang that Christmas morning
Oh a Saviour has been born
And it happened a long time ago in a land called Bethlehem
King Herod learned a lesson
He learned it real hard
You just don't mess with the son of God
Well a long time ago in a land called Bethlehem
I said a long time ago in a land called Bethlehem
Well the demons they cried
They moaned and wailed
The kingdom got set back on it's tail
Well a long time ago in a land called Bethlehem
Well a long time ago in a land called Bethlehem
Well it happened a long
A long
Oh a long time ago in a land called Bethlehem
And they sang that Christmas morning
Oh a Saviour has been born
And it happened a long time ago in a land called Bethlehem
And it happened a long time ago in a land called Bethlehem
And it happened a long time ago in a land called Bethlehem
