You know that statue
That statue of baby Jesus
In the window
In the window of the 99 cent store

Last night I saw the owner kiss it
And whisper in its ear
I was walking home from Walgreen's
And he did not hear me see him

And on the very, very next morning
All the subway cars were hallelu-leluing
Welcome back the baby king, the baby king
All the believers, they were smiling
And winking at each other
I could honestly say I was
Scared for my life!

They said:
All the non-believers, they get to eat dirt
And the believers get to spit on their graves
All the non-believers, they get to eat dirt
And the believers get to spit on their graves
All non-believers
All non-believers
All non-believers
All non-believers
All non-believers
All non-believers

You know that statue
That statue of baby Jesus
In the window
In the window of the 99 cent store

Well, they've been showing it on the news
It was thirty times its size
With a megaphone and a heart-shaped bruise
It was hovering in the skies

And all the
Subway cars were hallelu-lelu-leluing
Hallelujah
Welcome back the baby king, the baby king
All the believers they were smiling
And winking at each other
I could honestly say I was
Scared for my life!

They said:
All the non-believers, they get to eat dirt
And the believers get to spit on their graves
All the non-believers, they get to eat dirt
And the believers get to spit on their graves
All non-believers
All non-believers
All non-believers
All non-believers
All non-believers
All non-believers
Believe!
Believe!
Believe, believe, believe!
Believe!
Believe!
Believe, believe, believe!
Believebelievebelievebelievebelievebelievebelievebelievebelieve
Believe...

You know that statue
That statue of baby Jesus
In the window
In the window of the 99 cent store

When I woke up I ran and bought it
And locked it in my closet
With a little bread and water
And a flashlight and a first-aid kit
Till he grows
