So you wanna go back to Egypt, where it's warm and secure.
|
Are you sorry you bought the one-way ticket when you thought you were sure?
|
You wanted to live in the Land of Promise, but now it's getting so hard.
|
Are you sorry you're out here in the desert, instead of your own backyard?
|
|
Eating leeks and onions by the Nile.
|
Ooh what breath, but dining out in style.
|
Ooh, my life's on the skids.
|
Give me the pyramids.
|
|
Well there's nothing to do but travel, and we sure travel a lot.
|
'Cause it's hard to keep your feet from moving when the sand gets so hot.
|
And in the morning it's manna hotcakes. We snack on manna all day.
|
And they sure had a winner last night for dinner, flaming manna souffle.
|
|
Well we once complained for something new to munch.
|
The ground opened up and had some of us for lunch.
|
Ooh, such fire and smoke.
|
Can't God even take a joke…Huh?….(NO!)
|
|
So you wanna go back to Egypt, where old friends wait for you.
|
You can throw a big party and tell the whole gang, that what they said was all
|
true.
|
And this Moses acts like a big-shot, who does he think he is.
|
It's true that God works lots of miracles, but Moses thinks they're all his.
|
|
Well I'm having so much trouble even now.
|
Why'd he get so mad about that cow, that golden cow.
|
Moses,he seems rather idle, he just sits around.
|
He just sits around and writes the Bible.
|
|
Oh, Moses, put down your pen.
|
What…Oh no, manna again?
|
Oh, manna waffles….
|
Manna burgers...
|
Manna bagels...
|
Fillet of manna...
|
Mannacoti...
|
Bamanna bread!
