Shortly before Jesus was born
Caesar made all inhabitants register as citizens
But the journey was far and it’s
Not very likely he would make them
Make the journey of a week or more
In the harsh unforgiving snow
Shepards were living in the fields
To look after the flocks at night
But Decembers too cold
To not be in pens
No, that doesn’t make sense
It couldn’t be right
it doesn’t make no sense at all
Zacharias served in the temple during Abijah
And historical calculations estimate the time as of
June 13th through June 19th that year
Now see if you can follow along
After the service Zacharias returned home
And impregnated his wife and nine
Months later John was born
Now it’s said John and Jesus
Were born half a year apart
So Jesus was born around September
‘Cause John was born about March
Chorus:
Fall Jesus, Fall Jesus
Jesus was born in the fall
Fall Jesus, Fall Jesus, Fall Jesus
Merry Christmas
Now the priests wanted a piece
Of the pagan Roman celebration
Winter Solstice could coincide with Christ
So they picked a date
And claimed that day
was the day of Christ
the day Jesus was born
Fall Jesus, Fall Jesus
Jesus was born in the fall
Fall Jesus, Fall Jesus, Fall Jesus
Merry Christmas
The fall tree seems so barren this year
Don’t they know, don’t they know?
Well Jerry the jolly gift giver
Is falling off the tree tonight
So hang your leaves and hang yourself
And give your friends a festive pinecone
‘Cause it’s that time of year
It only comes once a year
Fall Jesus, Fall Jesus
Jesus was born in the fall
Fall Jesus, Fall Jesus, Fall Jesus
Merry Christmas
Fall Jesus, Fall Jesus
Jesus was born in the fall
Fall Jesus, Fall Jesus
Merry Christmas to all
about
Just a little Christmas single from ol' Tomato Bomb
