Elizabeth Block sent me this parody in 2020, but I guess I neglected to post it. Thanks, Elizabeth!

MARY HAD A BABY (parody)

Mary had a baby, O Lord
Mary had a baby, O my Lord
Mary had a baby, O Lord
Now we celebrate it but it sure was hard

Who was the father? Some say Joseph
Who was the father? I don't know!
Who was the father? Some say Joseph
Other people say it was the Holy Ghost

Did she have a baby shower? I doubt it
Did she have a baby shower? Think again
Did she have a baby shower? I doubt it
But later there were presents from the Three Wise Men

Who coached the labour? Old Joseph
Who coached the labour? Good old Joe
Who coached the labour? Old Joseph
With a helping hand provided by the Holy Ghost

She was a working mother Unpaid
She was a working mother All her life
She was a working mother Unpaid
Never had a pension or a holiday

Did she have daycare? You're joking
Did she have daycare? Not a chance
Did she have daycare? You're joking
Never even got to take maternity leave

Who washed the diapers? Three guesses
Who washed the diapers? Two don't count
Who washed the diapers? Three guesses
Whatever could have happened to the Holy Ghost?

Mary had a baby, O Lord
Mary had a baby, O my Lord
Mary had a baby, O Lord
Now we celebrate it but it sure was hard
