Parody Lyrics by Randall Hyde

God gave to him a job: go ta Ninevah
But he didn't want to go even though the Lord, He said go ta
G-O-T-A, Go ta
So he hopped on a boat when he got the chance
But the skys got dark, twasn't a good choice, was made by
Jonah, J-O-N-(Aach) Jonah, Jo-Jo-Jo-Jonah

"Well it's not a bad thing for them to die
I would be pleased alright, yeah their death would be fine"
Oh said Jonah, J-O-N-(AacH) Jonah
Running was dumb, Jonah must understand
That he could stop their woes, man God had a plan
Oh for Jonah, J-O-N-(Aach) Jonah, Jo-Jo-Jo-Jonah

Well he packed his bags and he left that night
Snuck away under the moonlight
He caught a boat thought he would get free
I guess he was acting just like you and me
Said "I'm not the world's most prophetic guy"
Guess what? The Lord He provides
A giant whale just for Jonah
J-O-N-(Aach) Jonah,
Jo-Jo-Jo-Jonah


He sailed far away,
God's word he ignored
Got thrown overboard
Into the stormy seas
It stunk fer sure
Until day three

Well he learned right then not to go astray
Off to Ninevah he would go today
Oh yeah, Jonah
Jo-Jo-Jo-Jonah
They'll get the choice, though they're swine with pearls
Jonah preached to them and he save their world
Good job done by Jonah,
J-O-N-(Aach) Jonah

When he left home just the week before
Well he told his neighbors as he passed through his door
"I've left some food there by Fido's dish,
So if you feed the dog, I'll feed the fish."
You'd guess to the whale he tastes just like Spam
He got puked on the beach then got with the plan
Oh that Jonah
J-O-N-(Aach) Jonah
Jo-Jo-Jo-Jonah
