Sideman's Serenade

It’s true, at first it gave me pause 
To busk among these stable stalls.
But since there’s cause to deck the halls, 
Why not be jolly, too?
Been from here to Timbuktu 
And played some funky gigs. but this?
Between the manger and the wise guys… good Lord! 
Faith may be noble, but ignorance is bliss.
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, 
Rum-pum-pum-pum, 
Rum-pum-pum-pum…
