"It was our darkest hour," Is what everyone said About the day the town of Chelsea Got turned on its head-- When the whole world gazed, Bewitched and amazed At the miracle that laid At their feet
Widow Johnson's Chevy (one wheel in the grave) Took to losing oil At a most alarming rate And it left a stain, A mark on the terrain That forever changed Little Chelsea
Upon returning home one day Widow Johnson saw the stain In a most familiar shape-- The face of the Virgin Mary
She called out to her neighbors, And they called out to theirs And before you could say a Hail Mary The whole town was there And it filled the street, The sound of shuffling feet-- They all came out to see Her blessed driveway.
The pretty girl from the evening news And the kid from the Chelsea Press Took turns asking questions About which driveway was blessed And it made front page It was all the rage... Folks of every age Came to Chelsea.
By noon the hotels all were booked Widow Johnson's whole house shook They were on the roof to get a look At the face of the Virgin Mary.
Maps to the scene were sold on every corner You can take the walking tour for twenty bucks Replicas for sale are all hand-painted, And guaranteed to bring you divine luck
("Binoculars for rent-- only five dollars And guaranteed to provide immaculate perception.")
The excitement reached a fever pitch 'Til someone in the crowd Said, "The stain looks less like Mary, And more like Charlie Brown." And they all went quiet... Someone said, "You're right." And they receded into the night 'Til the street was empty.
The sun came up on Chelsea Widow Johnson surveyed the scene That oil-stain on the driveway Would take all day to clean And she swept the street Cleaned up the debris It was back to the old routine In Chelsea
