KEITH GREEN - So You Wanna Go Back to Egypt lyrics

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 to 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 that 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 golden 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

Or manna bread
