He's the one
So, there I was minding my own business keeping bar
Cleaning glasses and looking no where
But everywhere if you get my drift
The place is heaving
And in he walks like he has been a week in the saddle
But all dressed to the nines in fancy rags
The best money can buy
From head to toe
He comes up to me and says he has travelled far
With his two friends outside
The camels are tired and he and his companions
Have been following a star
And they are looking for a baby
Who is meant to be something special
And I say without a blink of an eye
Aren’t they all?
He says yeah but this one really is special
Like he’s the one
And I say you have to be kidding
What are you some sort of wise guy?
And he says well actually yeah, I am
So, I smile the kind of smile that’s says
Yeah right
But he says he doesn’t care
And says again this time all slow and dead cool
We are looking for a baby
And we have gifts
I pause for a minute and have to think
Before I say the only baby that’s around these parts
Is the one born out the back just a few hours past
I don’t think he’s very special
He’s in the stable
But you are welcome to take a look
At this he smiles the kind of smile that all those
Who are wise and rich smile
And says yep
Thanks, he’s the one
