Christmas Wrapping

Lyrics by Cornelius Booth
Three Wise Men came from afar.
Three Kings, they followed a star.

Bible says
There are some people always take, take, take,
But that is no way to be.
No-one cares
That Jesus came to earth for our sake.
That's how it seems to me.

Christmas Time - Christmas Time
Time to give a present (and there's no time like the present).
Christmas Time - Christmas Time
Living is for giving (and forgiving the past).

"Buy me!"
Says the doll behind the windowpane,
"Go tell your parents now!"
"Try me!"
Says the star of a computer game.
That's not what it's about.

Christmas Time - Christmas Time
Time to give a present (and there's no time like the present).
Christmas Time - Christmas Time
Living is for giving (and forgiving the past).

Three Wise Men came from afar.
Three Kings, they followed a star.

(FIRST RAPPER)
Caspar - I'm following a star
Crossing over deserts on a journey from afar.
Been on the road since we got the good news.
Made it here to Bethlehem to pay Him our dues
He's the Best - He's the Boss - He's the Toppest of the Tops.
The Kingest of the Kings and the Pickest of the Pops.
He's the Man - He's the Dude, come to set us free
Don't hang around - get wise - like me!

Three Wise Men came from afar.
Three Kings, they followed a star.

(SECOND RAPPER)
Melchior - number two out o' three.
I'm gonna tell you who we wanna see.
A little bitty baby - been born in a manger
It's written sky-high - He ain't no stranger.
He's the Chief - He's the Daddy - the real Number One.
The Prince of Peace - you know - second to none!
He's the Man - He's the Dude, come to set us free
Don't hang around - get wise - like me!

Three Wise Men came from afar.
Three Kings, they followed a star.

(THIRD RAPPER)
Balthazar - the last from out East
The first shall be last - and the last ain't least!)
Bringin' bags o' presents - (that can't be bad!)
Gold, Myrrh 'n' Frankincense to give to the lad.
If your still wond'ring who the Big Cheese is,
Paragon of Virtue - we're talkin' Jesus!
He's the Man - He's the Dude, come to set us free
Don't hang around - get wise - like me!

Three Wise Men came from afar.
Three Kings, they followed a star.
Give it up.
The precious things in life are all for free
(They're coming straight from the heart).
Live it up!
You know it is the only way to be
(And now's the time to start).

(SINGERS)

Christmas Time
Christmas Time
Time to give a present (and there's no time like the present).
Christmas Time
Christmas Time
Living is for giving (and forgiving the past).



(RAPPERS)

He's the Man - He's the Dude, And He's come to set us free
So, don't hang around - get wise - like me!
He's the Man - He's the Dude, born to set us free
So, don't hang around - get wise - like me!
He's the Man - He's the Dude, and He's here to set us free
So, don't hang around - get wise - like me!
He's the Man - He's the Dude, and He's gonna set us free
Don't hang around - get wise - like me!


(FOURTH RAPPER)
The moral of this story is really very clear.
Follow this advice and you'll have nothing to fear.
Don't hang around 'n' wait for Santa to deliver.
Wise guys know that it's best to be the giver.

(TUTTI RAPPING)
Have a happy Christmas - don't be caught nappin',
Better make sure now you finish all your wrappin'.
LET'S WRAP!
