The Lyrics
This is dedicated to John Jenkins, who has been a friend to me although I have never met him in person, just through Amiright. He, however, is not one to say "oh well".
The first oh well, we safely can say,
Was that Jesus with donkeys was made to lay
Because there was no room in the inn
And making no room for Him, still, is a sin
Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well
Scorned was the King of Israel
We don't look up and see the scar
That was laid upon Him with nails driven far
To this dark earth he gave great light
But still we continue to walk in the night
Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well
Scorned is the King of Israel
We work our jobs and drive our cars
We shoot for success and we shoot for par
To search for things is our intent
And we have no peace, wherever it went
Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well
Scorned is the King of Israel
For things we sigh that give no rest
In Bethlehem there lay the Best
In flesh He came, on earth to stay
Until in the tomb they put Him away
Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well
Scorned was the King of Israel
But He walked out, on that day three
And mankind worshipped, on bended knee
They marveled at His sweet presence
And thanked God for His forgiveness
Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well
Scorned is the King of Israel
Then, as we race in our Accords,
Let's not forget about the Lord
Who gave His life for one and all
Take your headphones off and hear Him call
Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well
Scorned was the King of Israel
Was that Jesus with donkeys was made to lay
Because there was no room in the inn
And making no room for Him, still, is a sin
Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well
Scorned was the King of Israel
We don't look up and see the scar
That was laid upon Him with nails driven far
To this dark earth he gave great light
But still we continue to walk in the night
Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well
Scorned is the King of Israel
We work our jobs and drive our cars
We shoot for success and we shoot for par
To search for things is our intent
And we have no peace, wherever it went
Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well
Scorned is the King of Israel
For things we sigh that give no rest
In Bethlehem there lay the Best
In flesh He came, on earth to stay
Until in the tomb they put Him away
Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well
Scorned was the King of Israel
But He walked out, on that day three
And mankind worshipped, on bended knee
They marveled at His sweet presence
And thanked God for His forgiveness
Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well
Scorned is the King of Israel
Then, as we race in our Accords,
Let's not forget about the Lord
Who gave His life for one and all
Take your headphones off and hear Him call
Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well
Scorned was the King of Israel

beautifully written...i was quite touched by this
I hope there aren't any fanatical athiests on this website who will give you ones for being politically incorrect. Otherwise, I agree with this.
Excellent title switch, and great content
No way in ell I'd give less than fives on this
Excellent job of bringing an ageless Christmas carol into the 21st century. Thank you for the reminder of the meaning of Christmas. And thank you very much for the dedication – your friendship means a lot to me as well.
Royce - Excellent write and what JJ said goes double here. I somehow missed this during the Christmas rush I guess. You have reminded all of the true meaning of Christmas and if this is non PC then I like non PC. God Bless! And may 2008 be good to you.
This was Royce's last parody that she ever posted on amiright. It is so proper that she would praise the Almighty on her last published parody.
Great parody, 5s, R.I.P. [Great comment, Guy]
What Silver Power and Guy said. Rest in peace, Royce, and may your spirit live on. Here are some 5s.
