On Monday morning early, was it something that you said? For every whirling atom of the universe obeyed From something less than blackest night the brightest day was made Oh Hallelujah Hallelu Hallelujah Then on the Tuesday after by a clever slight of hand You made the waters flow, you told the firmament to stand By evening you were happy, things were going as you planned Oh Hallelujah Hallelu Hallelujah On Wednesday you were quite inspired by something on your mind From mud and sand you made the land with mountains ranged behind And made it like a garden laid with plants of every kind Oh Hallelujah Hallelu Hallelujah You noticed on a Thursday that all the earth was black And made the sun to light her front, the moon to light her back The night you set with stars to glow like j**els in a sack Oh Hallelujah Hallelu Hallelujah When Friday came you made the birds, the sky to populate With little fish you filled the sea and gave to each a mate They showed a swift obedience when you had them copulate
Oh Hallelujah Hallelu Hallelujah But such success led to excess on Saturday at noon For then you made the tribe of man a billion years too soon Before he barely learned to crawl he trampled on the moon Well Hallelujah anyway Hallelujah Hallelujah On Sunday when you told the man a Sabbath day to keep You little guessed what he was at while you were sound asleep In just one day he threw away your labour of a week Well Hallelujah anyway, Hallelujah Hallelujah anyway, Hallelujah Hallelujah anyway, Hallelujah Hallelujah anyway, Hallelujah And so begins the second week and you arise from rest Did you expect to find him waiting in his Monday best? The tree is dead, the bird has flown and burned the sacred nest Well Hallelujah anyway, Hallelujah Hallelujah anyway, Hallelujah Hallelujah anyway, Hallelujah Hallelujah anyway, Hallelujah Hallelujah anyway, Hallelujah Hallelujah anyway, Hallelujah Hallelujah anyway, Hallelujah Hallelujah anyway, Hallelujah Hallelujah anyway, Hallelujah Hallelujah anyway, Hallelujah
