1. God fashioned Adam from a big mud pie,
And set him up along the fence to let the feller dry.
Then came the Serpent, a-knockin at the door
And Eve et the apple and Adam got the core!
Chorus:
Young folks, old folks, everybody come
Join the Mormon* Sunday School, and have yourself some fun
Kindly leave your chewing gum and raisins at the door
And you'll hear some Bible stories like you've never heard before.

*Substitute your favorite church here. This is how I first heard it, sez Woody.
2. Methuselah was famous, for he refused to die
"When ya gonna croak?" he answered, Maybe bye and bye.
His beard got so long that you couldn't see his head
At night he tucked it in a sack and used it for a bed!
3. Noah called the animals, they boarded two by two
The hippocatapotamus, the kangarhinoroo.
He tried to entertain himself by fishin out the stern
But didn't have much luck, he only had two worms!
4. Joseph had a coat of many colors that he wore
His brothers hadn't any, and it made 'em kinda sore
They took him out a-walking and they shoved him in the sewer
And flushed him down to Egypt for a little tour!
5. Pharaoh had a daughter who was walking by the Nile
And found the baby Moses playing with a crocodile
She took him to her father, said, "I found him on the shore."
He shook his head and said, "I've heard that one before!"
6. Elijah was a prophet and he worked the County Fairs
He advertised his act with a pair of dancing bears
He held a sale of prophecies most every afternoon
And he went up every evening in a gaudy silk balloon!
7. Sampson was the strongest man that ever pumped iron
Slew a thousand Phillistones and even tamed a lion
His fondness for Delilah left him weak as a mouse
It seems he lost the vision - but he brought down the house!
8. Meshak, Shadrak, and To-bed-we-go
Wouldn't listen to the king, so they had to go
He put 'em in a furnace to burn 'em up like chaff
But they had asbestos B.V.D.s and they just laughed!
9. David was a shepherd boy, his daddy's pride and joy
He made his boy a sling shot, a harmless little toy
Made Goliath so amused he laughed himself dead
Nothin' like that had ever entered in his head!
10. Solomon and David both led naughty lives
Flirted all the afternoon, with other peoples wives;
Up until the evening, then their conscience gave 'em qualms
So the one wrote the Proverbs, and t'other'n wrote the Psalms!
11. There are plenty o' these Bible tales, I'll tell you more tomorrah
How Lot and his fam'ly fled from Sodom and Gomorrah
His wife didn't make it, ah, but warn't his fault,
First she turned to "rubber-neck", and then she turned to salt!
