INTRO
As a child I heard about three wise men
Who followed the star to Bethlehem
They brought the baby king three fine gifts
But I’ve always wondered what if
CHORUS
If there were three wise women in that nativity scene
One would rock the baby two would cook and clean
Bring blankets and brooms make that old barn a home
Forget the frankincense give more gold
Yeah it would have been different back then
If there were three wise women not three wise men
VERSE 1
The three queens would have a plan
Load baby things in their camel caravan
Use desert maps and woman’s intuition
To keep on track and complete their mission
Unlike those three magi guys
Who stopped to hang with Herod and took their blessed time
CHORUS
VERSE 2
While the men just stood around
Shouting amen and partying down
Each queen would be a heavenly hostess
For sweet Jesus Mary and Joseph
Unlike those three royal dudes
Who got their place in history in spite of what they didn’t do
CHORUS
