Hey There Jonah

Parody of "Arizona" by Mark Lindsay

Parody Lyrics by Monty R. Ray (A.K.A. The CyberSaddleTramp)
The word of God came down to Jonah, "head up Nineveh way"
"Cry against her and her wicked hoopla, coming up to Me this day"
He thought he would flee then leaving God and all the words He wanted him to say
And all he could do is hide his face, doesn't seem like he knew how to pray


Hey there Jonah, God's near -don't be afraid
Hey there Jonah, take His word into their world, hey, hey
Hey there Jonah, take up this escapade
Hey there Jonah, now won't ya go His way


Shake off your pride and your fears, from God you cannot hide
Now don't complain if you think you want to be God's saint

Hey there Jonah, spread God's holy news
Hey there Jonah, you need to go God's way

Instrumental interlude

Cast in the sea he sank with the undertow while trying to run away
The great fish came up and swallowed him whole - where he stayed three long days
In that watery grave he prayed "save my life Lord, and I will obey"
You need not think it's only a fable, God made it happen that way

Hey there Jonah, God's near - don't be afraid
Hey there Jonah, go take His word into their world, hey, hey
Hey there Jonah, take up this escapade
Hey there Jonah, you need to go God's way

Come on pray, hey there Jonah, spread God's holy news
Hey there Jonah, go take His word into their world, hey heyyyy
Hey there Jonah, better give God his dues
Hey there Jonah, won't ya go His way
