Of Two Bearded Men Lyrics
Once a year
a man will board his sleigh
while children lie in bed awake
counting down the minutes for the sun
And the man will fly around the world
and stop for every boy and girl
making Christmas day
a merry time
But many years before that man
a child was born in Bethlehem
who made a way to God
for you and I
Then presents came
and eyes were turned
from Jesus Christ
and what he'd earned
to watching the night sky
for flying deer
But Jesus doesn't hate Santa Claus
Cause he knows Santa only does his job
When Santa arrives home from his
yuletide flight of merriment
and has his Christmas meal
he stops to pray
And God above will hear his prayer
and keep him safe another year
Cause God knows Santa Claus
Does his best
Cause Jesus doesn't hate Santa Claus
cause he knows Santa only does his job
But Jesus doesn't hate Santa Claus
cause he knows Santa only does his job
a man will board his sleigh
while children lie in bed awake
counting down the minutes for the sun
and stop for every boy and girl
making Christmas day
a merry time
a child was born in Bethlehem
who made a way to God
for you and I
and eyes were turned
from Jesus Christ
and what he'd earned
to watching the night sky
for flying deer
Cause he knows Santa only does his job
yuletide flight of merriment
and has his Christmas meal
he stops to pray
and keep him safe another year
Cause God knows Santa Claus
Does his best
cause he knows Santa only does his job
cause he knows Santa only does his job

I'm really surprised that this song isn't more popular. It's a really beautiful song with a nice, and slightly funny message. It's obviously about how some people today say that the commercialism in Christmas (Santa) is taking the true meaning out of the Holiday. (ex.Then presents came and eyes were turned from Jesus Christ and what he'd earned to watching the night sky for flying deer ... people are distracted by the commercialism) But here, Number One Gun is laying that argument down for the sake of the love behind the Holiday, stating that "Jesus doesn't hate Santa Claus." And the part of Santa doing his job I think means that Santa is doing his job by spreading joy and just loving everyone, which is being an example of Christlikeness, and I would imagine Jesus would want people to associate joy and love with the Holiday of His birth. Bottom line: Just embrace Christmas and have a good attitude! :)
