Haggee-ai (book of Haggai)

Parody of "Maggie May" by Rod Stewart

Parody Lyrics by Jeff James (the Parodud)

Shake 'em Haggee', guys think thatGod's nuthin', obeyin's through.

They may remember that guys reallyshouldn't have templ' ruin'd.

Their own house seems too profuse butGod's temple seems abused.

Oh Haggee', guys wouldn't then dineor be warm.

Procure thee wood, make Lord'shome,

But do make soon, God's seeing what's done.

You're owed a drought, and then you'll still seedearth.

The glory, that temple did display,still has flown away.

Each man, oh, scurries around and guys tryta mend the thing.

Guys grabbed and toiled with their yokes,guys' love sure isn't feeble hoax.

Oh Haggee', guys would have then cried,"Let's restore."

Take courage and labor long . . 'causeGod says you'll be feeling so strong.

True Lord of hosts commands, the nationsare sure shook down.

Ore quite gleaming comes fromHim, not any prize from man.

But Jews sure then do recover when

Others just discoveredthey surely slouched.

Called to fix the temple, yes, then with a warning,picked up where they left.

Oh Haggee', guys would have then died,yet restored.

Adjured via gracious Lord, 'causeHe isn't just a thing of stone.

Just pore o'er law, it would reveal that whichdefiles.

God proposed that others getquite shook 'cause, yes in fact He rules.

So pleased He'll gladly do, then shape thatIsra'l, now a favored jew'l.

Defiled if they don't watch where they stand,unclean were many men.

Oh Haggee-ī, if guys ever heedLord's ways.

Jews may be worst, yet soon now they'llplease.

This time remind that the Jewsmust heed.

You're chosen hearts, thus God lovesJews in that day.

Haggee', guys blessedforever in Lord's grace.

Guys blessed then af-ter . . twenty-threedays.

BTW, if you don't understand the "Paro-Dud" moniker, visit ApologetiX' site and check out the name of Karl Messner's production company; then you'll probably get the play on words.
