In the year of our Lord minus one
The day of the Annunciation
As I rode out for sport and fun
Overheard this conversation

" If I was the Holy Ghost
And you were Our Lady
And you married a carpenter
Would you have my baby ? "

" Save for me your loveliness
I'll give you my forgiveness
And I'll take you to Heaven girl
But first we do the business. "

She was the handmaid of the Lord
Hand-made in His image
Ain't it lucky that the Lord looked just
Like a girl from Kimmage

And the Word was made flesh
And dwelt amongst us
Brought a message of hope to the world
And some very weird bunches of

People proclaiming " Save for us your valuables
We'll organize forgiveness
And we'll get you to Heaven boys
But first we do the business. "
