Whose Birthday Is Christmas - The Statler Brothers

One December Sunday morning after church

I was walking to my car and I heard a little boy say

Oh daddy just who’s birthday is Christmas

The Bible says that Jesus was born

Oh daddy please explain, I had to ask because

You hear so much about Santa Clause

Silver bells and ceder smells don’t tell the story

Of the virgin and the manger where He lay

Festive drinks and glasses klinks will not make Jesus

Proud to say that this is His birthday

Oh daddy just who’s birthday is Christmas

The Bible says that Jesus was born

Oh daddy please explain, I had to ask because

You hear so much about Santa Clause

In Sunday school we read the Christmas story

Saint Nick will come next week so we are told

It’s hard to understand in a big peoples land

Especially if you’re six years old

(Happy birthday sung in the background for this chorus only)

Oh daddy just who’s birthday is Christmas

The Bible says that Jesus was born

Oh daddy please explain, I had to ask because

You hear so much about Santa Clause

It’s hard to understands in a big peoples land

Especially if you’re six years old
