- One more Xmas-y filk, which I haven't posted because I wrongly assumed it was
- widely spread:
-
- <tune: Puff the Magic Dragon>
-
- Jesus Christ our savior
- lived by the sea
- and frolicked in the holy mist
- in a land called Galilee
- his mother was a virgin
- his father was a Jew
- if I had a family tree like that
- they'd crucify me too
-
- Little Pontias Pilate
- loved our savior Christ
- He brought him a cross
- and a crown of thorns
- and more things just as nice!
- He walked the Via Dolorosa
- and fell countless times
- and every place our savior fell
- there is a church with chimes
-
- Oh, Jesus Christ our savior
- lived in Palestine
- he frolicked in the holy mist
- and drank that kosher wine
- his mother was a virgin
- his father was a Jew
- if I had a family tree like that
- they'd crucify me too
-
- To heaven he did travel
- on a shroud with billowed sails
- when he rose he cured lepers
- and left behind no trails
- what exactly happened
- we don't know to this day
- but there are marks on Turin's shroud
- from his radioactive ray
-
- [To the best of my knowledge, there is no copyright on the chorus, which I
- first encountered in 1980. The verses were written by myself and 2 friends
- and may be considered PD]
