So You Wanna Go Back To Egypt

So you wanna go back to Egypt Where it's warm and secure Are sorry you bought the one way ticket When you thought you were sure You wanted to live in the land of promise But now it's getting so hard Are you sorry you're out here in the desert Instead of your own back yard Eating leaks and onions by the Nile Ooh what breath for dining out in style Ooh, my life's on the skids Building the pyramids Well there's nothing do but travel And we sure travel a lot 'Cause it's hard to keep your feet from moving When the sand gets so hot And in the morning it's manna hotcakes We snack on manna all day And we sure had a winner last night for dinner Flaming manna souffle Well we once complained for something new to munch The ground opened up and had some of us for lunch Ooh, such fire and smoke Can't God even take a joke? Huh? NO! So you wanna to back to Egypt Where your friends wait for you You can throw a big party and tell the whole gang Of what they said was all true And this Moses acts like a big shot Who does he think he is? Well it's true that God works lots of miracles But Moses thinks they're all his Oh we're having so much trouble even now Why'd he get so mad about that c-c-c-cow (that golded calf) Moses seems rather idle He just sits around, he just sits around and writes the Bible! Oh, Moses, put down your pen! What? Oh no, manna again? Oh, manna waffles Manna burgers Manna bagels Fillet of manna Manna patty BaManna bread! --- So You Wanna Go Back to Egypt - Keith Green
