Lyrics[]
Junior: It's Christmastime and soon I know I'll see
Presents underneath the Christmas tree
Mistletoe and stockings in their place
Extra cookie out for Santa just in case
But tonight I'm setting up the manger underneath the tree
I'm counting all the pieces as a question comes to me
Was he a boy like me? Did he bounce on Daddy's knee?
Did he play games to make his mother smile?
As I place the final piece inside the manger scene
I wonder if he was a boy like me
Throw tinsel on and add some candy canes
Turn on the hi-fi Julie Andrews sings
Jingle Bells, I wish some snow could fall
Say our thanks, wish Merry Christmas to all
But as I stare out the window at the Christmas star tonight
There's a question I must ask you and I hope that you don't mind
Was he a boy like me? Did he bounce on Daddy's knee?
Did he play games to make his mother smile?
As I place the final piece inside the manger scene
I wonder if he was a boy like me
I knocked the wise man over when I put the baby in
I set him up so he could see the child once again
I fixed the broken shepherd so he could stand up tall
Looking in his eyes I think I see just what he saw
He saw a boy like me, he bounced him on his knee
They played some games and made his mother smile
As you place the final piece inside your manger scene
They wondered at this boy
They gazed upon this gift
In a boy like me
In a boy like me
