| Parody Song Title: | "Drown like an Egyptian" |
| Parody Written by: | MasonR |
Based on the Book of Exodus...and current events.
All of Pharaoh's slaves have skipped town
They've girded their loins, don't you know
After ten big plagues (oy vey, oh)
Egyptians are glad to let 'em go
Pharoah's heart is hard. Says "hey wait
They took all our stuff -- after them!"
Thought Israel's trapped (no way, no)
A Godly plan's hatched. They won't get wet.
Horse and rider are stuck in the mud, say
"Wave? No. Wave? No. Wave? No...uh-oh!"
Drown like an Egyptian
At the sea of reeds Moses rais-
es up his arms, and the waters part
Cross on dry land (thank you, Mo)
But enemies drowned in the river's heart
All the people heard and they shook
They're fearing the wrath of holy hand
Even Edom knows (way to go)
Taskmasters drowned--they're Egyptians
All our foes washed up on the shore, dead
Wham-o, wham-o, eating ham? No
Drowned like an Egyptian
Take a tambourine and sing out loud
Pharoah's dead. Behold - we are free
Let's sing and dance (oh way oh)
We shall wander forty years. You'll see.
If you want to find Israelites
They're camping out at the Sinai mount
They take commands (count one-oh)
In The Book they write 'em out
Down in Hamas-land, launching bombs,
Delusional terror loony men
They have hardened hearts (Wrong way. No)
Their fate will be like Egyptians
So don't mess with the Israelites, folks
No way, No way, find a new way
(or) Drown like an Egyptian
Drown like an Egyptian
They've girded their loins, don't you know
After ten big plagues (oy vey, oh)
Egyptians are glad to let 'em go
Pharoah's heart is hard. Says "hey wait
They took all our stuff -- after them!"
Thought Israel's trapped (no way, no)
A Godly plan's hatched. They won't get wet.
Horse and rider are stuck in the mud, say
"Wave? No. Wave? No. Wave? No...uh-oh!"
Drown like an Egyptian

Cross on dry land (thank you, Mo)

Drown like an Egyptian

There's nothing like a good biblical parody, Mason! I've seen biblical films such as The Bible, and The Ten Commandments. This sure tells all about The Book of Exodus. May the Pharaoh's grant you 555's jewels from the Tomb of King Tutankhamen!
big fan of the biblical stuff as well....my laughter runneth over
Mucho thanks, guys!
brilliant Mason - clever idea and very funny - 555
Missed this one the other day... I think it was clever. The "oh way oh" substitutions are great too. 5-5-5
