Boss
I feel grand, I feel great, come on friends let's celebrate. Go tell my mates about this treat I’ll foot the bill for all they’ll eat.

Servant
O sure Boss that's so grand, greatest party in the land. Yes I've got down your dictation, your friends to get an invitation.

Boss
Now send them out and don't be slow, come to party - yes or no.

Servant
Well now I'm off, I got to go, boss got a party - real big show. You're his mate and he wants to know, can you come, just yes or no?

First mate
I'm so sorry about this mate, I just bought some real estate, must take a look for I got planned, holiday home in far Queensland. So you see I got to go, to party plan, I answer no.

Servant
On telephone, well let it ring, to you some joyous news I bring, Boss's party will be fun, wants to know if you can come?

Second mate
Well guess you know just how it feels, got myself a set of wheels. Yes, got myself a real beaut car and I'm all set to go real far. Taking a trip that I got planned, plenty surf and plenty sand. To your party can I go? Sorry mate, the answer's no.

Servant (turns to third mate)
You're Boss's friend I've got it right, what you doing Saturday night? Boss I say with much delight, to party you he does invite.

Third mate
Sorry but I must confide, got myself a brand new bride, like to go but it's too soon, we're still on our honeymoon.

Servant
O dear Boss can this be so; to your party they won't go. They like the party, like it fine, but they haven't got the time.

Boss
That makes me angry, don't you know? But out in the streets you got to go, bring them here all you can find, the poor, the crippled, lame, the blind.

Servant
So on the streets I did invite, and yes they said with great delight. The poor, the crippled, blind, the lame, ever more and they all came. And when we saw the last of poor, say look Boss - there's room for more.

Boss
Then out again, you know my rule, party's got to be house full. Travel country - interstate, for my feast you can't be late. Be ye girl or be ye boy, Reject my feast and there's no joy.

Servant
God's the boss and he won't wait, His kingdom's coming, don't be late. Yes, Christ a second time will come, our Lord and Saviour, God's own Son. So do it now and do it right, don't reject the Lord's invite.

THE END
