Long overdue for a miracle

[Vikki]
Can it be true?
[Louise]
Well what do you think
[Vikki]
Does he have those big blue eyes
[Clarence]
Everyone's whispering back in town
[Louis]
I bet it's a pack of lies
[Jackie]
I bet he needs a bath
[Elizabeth]
Do you think that he can drive?
[Charity]
We ought to dress up really nice,
[Clarence]
It's great if he's alive
[Louise]
Does he have a crown of thorns?
[Winston & Curly]
The greatest story ever told
[Clarence]
Jeez he must be hungry
[La Vonne]
Lord he must be old
[Vikki]
He could turn us into angels, he could bless us with a kiss
[Clarence]
Do you think that he likes gumbo?
[Clarence]
Do you think that he likes Elvis?
[All]
Just imagine what would happen if all of this was true
All the other kids would envy us we're long overdue
Long overdue for a miracle, we're long overdue for a miracle
[Clarence]
He could get my dad a job
[La Vonne]
He could get my mum a dress
[Louis]
He could make us all have x-ray eyes
[Clarence]
He'll make us all confess
[Vikki]
Let's throw him a big party, it's Christmas pretty soon
[Curly]
We'll get a clown and a bird that talks,
[Clarence]
And a big birthday balloon
[Louise]
He could walk across Lake Ponchartrain
[Clarence]
Draw water from a stone
[All]
Just think of all the things we'd do with a miracle of our own
[Elizabeth]
I saw him crawling through the bayou
[All]
That's a lie
[Elizabeth]
No it was him!
[Clarence]
Why'd you think he picked that barn?
[Clarence]
where's he going?
[Louise]
where's he been ?
[All]
Wow if we got Jesus on our side, that'll make us awful strong ,
Imagine that if it all came true, we're long overdue,
Long overdue for a miracle, we're long overdue for a miracle
[Vikki]
We gotta go and see him now
[Brat]
No maybe he should rest
[Vikki]
Let's go and get a bible
[Clarence]
We'll make him take a test
[Brat]
I bet that they'll try and hurt him,
[Clarence]
We'll do what ever it takes
[Louise]
He once saved us now we'll save him
[Elizabeth]
We're all he's got for heavens sake
He'd stop the teachers hitting us
[Vikki]
The grownups wouldn't act so bad
[Louise]
We'd get more toys and lots of love
[All]
much more than we'd ever had
