Paul Kelly - Pa**ed Over lyrics

Today is a very fine day, a very happy day in every way Today is a very fine day-put your hands together and pray The angel came mighty close, in the middle of the night he came so close The angel came mighty close and then he carried on his way He pa**ed over, pa**ed over, pa**ed over We slew the lamb and smeared his blood, k**ed the little lamb to stay the hand of God We slaughtered the lamb and caught his blood and daubed it on the door We heard the beating of the wings, heard the busy beating of the terrible wings We heard the beating of the wings and then we heard nothing at all He pa**ed over, pa**ed over, pa**ed over The first born child was burning up, in the middle of the night he called for a cup The first born child was burning up, begging for his mama to come Mama mopped his burning brow, mama dear came with a cool, cool towel Mama mopped his burning brow and stayed watching over him Pa**ed over, pa**ed over, pa**ed over The first born son came down the stairs, mama dear kissed his curly brown hair The first born child came down the stairs, hungry as a grizzly bear Today is a very fine day, a very happy day in every way Today is a very fine day, the angel carried on his way He pa**ed over, pa**ed over, pa**ed over
