Poor Little Jesus
A Pity and a Shame: Unveiling the Poignant Tale of Poor Little Jesus by Bobby Darin
Lyrics
It was poor little Jesus
Expressing sympathy for Jesus' humble circumstances
He was born on Christmas
Highlighting Jesus' birth on Christmas Day
Believe, they laid in a manger
Stating that Jesus was laid in a manger
Now, wasn't that a pity and a shame, Lord
Expressing sorrow or regret for Jesus' humble beginnings
Wasn't that a pity and a shame?
Repeating the sentiment of pity and shame
It was poor little Jesus
Reiterating the focus on the humble circumstances of Jesus
Yes, he laid in a manger
Confirming Jesus' placement in a manger
Do you believe he had no cradle?
Questioning the absence of a cradle for Jesus
I ask you, wasn't that a pity and a shame, Lord?
Repeating the expression of pity and shame, seeking agreement
Wasn't that a pity and a shame?
Reiterating the sentiment regarding Jesus' circumstances
Born to Mary, yes, yes
Acknowledging Jesus' birth to Mary
Laid in the stable
Stating that Jesus was laid in a stable
In the town of Bethlehem, yes, yes
Specifying the location of Bethlehem for Jesus' birth
Laid in cradle
Emphasizing Jesus being laid in a cradle
I mean, poor little Jesus
Repeating the focus on Jesus' humble circumstances
I'm talking about poor little Jesus
Reiterating concern for poor little Jesus
Yeah, took his from his mother
Indicating separation from his mother
Wasn't that a pity and a shame, Lord?
Repeating the expression of pity and shame
Wasn't that a pity and a shame?
Reiterating the sentiment regarding Jesus' circumstances
Jesus never had no cradle
Highlighting the absence of a cradle for Jesus
