Moses

Moses painted the inside yellow,
Moses painted the outside blue;
And he covered his roof with shingles
And he covered his body too.

Moses was a little hungry,
Moses was a little shy;
Moses charmed us from the corner
For another piece of pie.

Moses married a fine young woman,
And her name was Liza Jane;
She knew Moses would be busy
But she wed him just the same.

Moses was a man of honor,
Moses was a man of truth;
Moses lay awake till midnight
With an unsatisfied sweet tooth.

Moses led the burning nation,
Moses worshiped in the straw;
Moses laid the new foundation,
Moses anchored what he saw.

Moses came from desperate parents,
Moses went his desperate way;
Moses bargained for salvation
Now his children have to pay.

Moses died and went to heaven,
To the thunder and the cheers;
Moses lost his mind in heaven
And he cried a million years.
