When I was a boy I went to church back home in Arizona
And it was there I learned the tale of a man whose name was Jonah
Now Jonah was a prophet, but that's not why he's remembered
They tell the tale, Cause in a whale he nearly was dismembered!
CHORUS
Jonah was a prophet
Oo-ooh!
But he really never got it
Sad but true!
And if you watch him you can spot it
A-doodley-doo!
He did not get the point!
Compa**ion and mercy from me to you and you to me
Exactly what god wants to see and yes that is the point!
CHORUS
Now Johnah Set Sail On A Pirate ship
In a dreadful gale
Got eaten up by a giant whale
There is no more to be said
Now poor old Jonah
And now he's all alone-ah
Got to use a megaphone-ah
To get it through to his head-HEY!
CHORUS
Now during your life you prob'ly don't ride on a camel
And you prob'ly won't wake up inside a large aquatic mammal
But now in your life there is something you can do
Everyone deserves a second chance to come from you!
Compa**ion and merc from me to you and you to me
Exactly what god wants to see and yes that is the point!
REPEAT CHORUSX2
