Build a big ship about,

In-stead of nos-trils,

And we'd eat fish food,
A
Instead of vitamin pills.

So do what the good book,

Do what the good book,

Off of his crown.
Bridge 2:

But what if David,

Had whined and wavered?

We'd live like slaves,

To Philistine knaves,

Our bosses would all,

Be 30 feet tall,

We'd wash their clothes,

With a fire hose,

And we'd sleep in the cracks,
B
Be-tween their toes.

Tells me to.
