Lyrics:

It was raining it was cold West Bethlehem was no place for a twelve year old So he packed his bags and he headed out To find out what the world's about He went to France he went to Spain He found love he found pain He found stores so he started to shop But he had no money so he got in trouble with a cop Kids in trouble wiht the cops from Israel didn't have no home So he cut his hair and moved to Rome It was there he met his Irish bride And they rented a flat on the lower east side Of Rome Italy that is Music publishers, book binders, bible belters, Swimming pools, orgies and lots of pretty Italian chicks Charley bought some popcorn Billy bought a car Someone almost bought the farm But they didn't go that far Things shut down at midnight At least around here they do Cause we all reside down the block inside At 23 skidoo Wine was flowing so were beers So Jesus found his missing years He went to a dance and said This don't move me So he hiked up his pants and he went to a movie On his thirteenth birthday he saw Rebel Without a Cause He went straight on home and invented Santa Claus Who gave him a gift And he responded in kind He gave the gift of love and went out of his mind You see him and the wife wasn't getting along So he took out his guitar and he wrote a song Called The Dove of Love Fell off the Perch But he couldn't get divorced in the Catholic Church At least not back then anyhow Jesus was a good guy he didn't need this shit So he took a pill with a Coca-Cola and he swallowed it He discovered the Beatles He recorded with the Stones Once he even opened up a three way package Fo
