Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We're looking for the king, the new messiah
We're following the star shining brighter
Old man, won't you help us if you can?
He shook his head but he pointed his hand
[Chorus]
There's a new kid in town
And he's lying in a manger down the road
There's a new kid in town
But he's just another baby I suppose
Heaven knows
There's a new kid in town here in Bethlehem
[Instrumental]
I see you've traveled far, bearing treasures
You say these gifts are for the new king's pleasure
I've heard that a king might come
But up 'til now there hasn't been one
[Chorus]
But there's a new kid in town
And he's lying in a manger down the road
There's a new kid in town
But he's just another baby I suppose
Heaven knows
There's a new kid in town here in Bethlehem
[Instrumental]
There's a new kid in town
And he's lying in a manger down the road
There's a new kid in town
But he's just another baby I suppose
Heaven knows
There's a new kid in town here in Bethlehem
