VeggieTales - Jonah Was a Prophet lyrics

When I was a boy I went
To church back home in Arizona
And it was there I learned the tale
Of a man whose name was Jonah
Now Jonah was a prophet
But that's not why he's remembered
They tell the tale
Cause in a whale he nearly was dismembered!

Jonah was a prophet oo ooh!
But he really never got it sad but true!
And if you watch him you can spot it
A doodley doo! He did not get the point!
Compassion and mercy from me to
You and you to me
Exactly what god wants to see and
Yes that is the point!

Jonah was a prophet oo ooh!
But he really never got it sad but true!
And if you watch him you can spot it
A doodley doo! He did not get the point!

Now Jonah Set Sail On A Pirate ship
In a dreadful gale
Got eaten up by a giant whale
There is no more to be said
Now poor old Jonah and now he's all alone ah
Got to use a megaphone ah
To get it through to his head-HEY!

Jonah was a prophet oo ooh!
But he really never got it sad but true!
And if you watch him you can spot it
A doodley doo! He did not get the point!
Now during your life you prob'ly
Don't ride on a camel
And you prob'ly won't wake up
Inside a large aquatic mammal
But now in your life there
Is something you can do
Everyone deserves a second chance
To come from you!

Compassion and mercy from me to
You and you to me
Exactly what god wants to see and
Yes that is the point!

Jonah was a prophet oo ooh!
But he really never got it sad but true!
Jonah was a prophet!
