Up to my ears
In bitter tears.
Can't believe I've sunk this low
As I walk the plankton
Inner sanctum.
Got outta Dodge,
Sailed on a bon-less
Bon voyage.
You said North,
I headed South.
Tossed overboard.
Good Lord, that's a really large mouth...
Jonah 1:1-3 Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me." But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
I'm sleeping with fishes here,
In the belly of the whale.
I'm highly nutritious here,
In the belly of the whale.
Bad food, lousy atmosphere.
I don't wanna bellyache.
How long is this gonna take?
Jonah 1:17 Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And
Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
Woke up this morning kinda blue,
Thinking through that age-old question:
How to exit a whale's digestion?
It might behoove me to be heaved.
Head out like a human comet.
Hmm... I wonder what rhymes with comet?
Jonah 2:10 So the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry
land.
I'm sleeping with fishes here,
In the belly of the whale.
I'm highly nutritious here,
In the belly of the whale.
I'm ready to reappear.
I don't wanna bellyache
Lord, how long's this gonna take?
End times, they come rolling around.
Enzymes, they come breaking us down to the core.
The good Lord grants we all get a second chance.
Jonah 4:11 And should I not pity Nineveh, that great city, in which are
more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between
their right hand and their left-and much livestock?"
I'm one of the dishes here,
In the belly of the whale.
They say I'm delicious here,
In the belly of the whale.
Lord, please make him chuck it all.
It's a gut call
In the belly of the whale.
I'm in the belly of the whale.
In the belly of the whale.
I'm in the belly.
In the belly of the whale.
I'm in the belly of the whale.
In the belly of the whale.
I'm in the belly...
Jonah 1:17 ...And Jonah was in the belly of the FISH three days and three
nights (emphasis added by Joyce).
In the belly of the whale
In an underwater jail
It's a tight squeeze.
It's a-gettin' to me,
But it's roomier
Than the tail.
Hey, sailor,
Got my flow free
Like a salmon to the sea
From the L.A. Symphony.
I'm a paddleboat
Paddlin' in their wake,
A fake free-styler,
But my unemployment pays.
I'm avoiding cliches
Like “whale of a tale” stale
Or “you can't keep
A good man down”
'Cause you can
And I've been there, man.
But I've been expectorated.
I'm elated!
I'm free like Willie!
Happy Day!
Oops,
That's a bit of a cliche.
In the belly...
Jonah 1:15 So they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea
ceased from its raging.Jonah 2:10 So the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
Jonah 4:1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he became angry. (If we're going for Biblically correct...)
Good morning all!
Half way through the week! I hope it's a good ending for everybody.
Kiara told me this song is actually VeggieTales. I haven't seen that version, but the Newsboys version (which should be playing right now) is good.
In His Service,
Joyce
