Keep Hidin' The Babes

Parody of "Slip Slidin' Away" by Paul Simon

Parody Lyrics by Jeff James (the Parodud)

CHORUS:
Keep hidin' the babes, keep hidin' the babes.
If folks don't fear their elimination,
For sure keep hidin' the babes.

I know a lad. He 'sailed' the Nile, Mo's found.
When Mo's small lad, then they went lookin' for newborns in town.
Mom said, "Oh Moses, I live in fear.
My love for you's so overpowering,
Why, you'll sail and hide..from killin' here."

(chorus)

I know a woman, became a wife.
See, hard King Herod heard the rumors, looks ta silence/(wipe out) life.
He said, "Ya should slay..babes, tots, cause pain!"
He said, "The lads pay 'til when I find 'em dead!"
Then stinky king..then died in sin.

(chorus)

And I know a father, who had a Son.
He longed to help this small, wee Jesus born the King, the One.
He traipsed a long trail..until they're safe.
He kissed his boy, they flee ta Egypt,
Then returned ta town when led by Lord again.

(chorus)

God only hopes . . we'll take a stand.
Elimination, they're assailable, ooh, these mortal ones.
Their worth's from God. Neglect their pain?
Are we abiding now in Christ's way?
Do we slack 'bout kids dying today?

(chorus, twice)

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.
