Lyrics

[00:01.00] 1 - 2 - 3 - 4
[00:11.30] People love the working man
[00:14.14] Who does the best that he can
[00:17.56] But don't forget all the horses and toys
[00:21.61] Never could fix the poor little rich boys
[00:25.93] People say they love the maid
[00:29.24] Who sweats and toils just like a slave
[00:32.82] But don't forget all the diamonds and pearls
[00:36.78] Never could fix the poor little rich girls
[00:40.60] You can measure it in blood
[00:45.05] You can measure it in mud
[00:48.97] Let us say for these twelve days
[00:52.86] Put the measuring away
[00:55.79] Cause it's Christmas
[00:59.63] And the spotlight's shining on Christmas
[01:06.44] And the spotlight's shining on us
[01:14.46]
[01:20.42] People love and people hate
[01:23.67] People go and people wait
[01:27.08] But, don't forget Jesus, Mary, and Joseph
[01:31.44] Once were a family poor but rich in hope, yeah
[01:35.24] Don't forget Jesus, Mary, and Joseph
[01:39.29] Running from the law, King Herod had imposeth
[01:43.20] And they were each one quite odd
[01:46.66] And mensch, a virgin, and a God
[01:50.50] But don't forget that what kept them aflow
[01:54.41] Floating through the desert doesnt take a boat no
[01:58.75] Don't forget that what kept them above
[02:02.34] Is unconditional love
[02:05.17]
[02:06.69] And, you can measure it in blood
[02:10.25] You can measure it in mud
[02:13.73] Let us say for these twelve days
[02:18.27] Put the measuring away
[02:21.22] Cause it's Christmas
[02:23.31] And the spotlight's shining on Christmas
[02:31.66] And the spotlight's shining on us
[02:40.67] And the spotlight's shining on Christmas
[02:48.34] And the spotlight's shining on
[02:53.33] People love the working man
[02:56.13] Who does the best that he can
[02:59.97] But, don't forget all the horses and toys
[03:04.12] Never could fix the poor little rich boys
