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 Savior 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 Savior 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 Savior 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
