God Rest Ye Unitarians

GOD REST YE, UNITARIANS

God rest ye, Unitarians, let nothing you dismay;

Remember there's no evidence

There was a Christmas Day;

When Christ was born is just not known,

No matter what they say,

O, Tidings of reason and fact, reason and fact,

Glad tidings of reason and fact.

Our current Christmas customs come

From Persia and from Greece,

From solstice celebrations of the ancient Middle East.

This whole darn Christmas spiel is just

Another pagan feast,

O, Tidings of reason and fact, reason and fact,

Glad tidings of reason and fact.

There was no star of Bethlehem,

There was no angels' song;

There couldn't have been wise men

For the trip would take too long.

The stories in the Bible are historically wrong,

O, Tidings of reason and fact, reason and fact,

Glad tidings of reason and fact.
