The New Main Street Singers chronicle the Biblical tales of Noah and David, with the implication that if they hadn’t followed the tenets of the Good Book (which they are in, so could not read), things would be very different today. The listener is encouraged to follow their example.
[Verse 1]
Oh yeah, yeah yeah
Now God said to Noah "I don't want no sinnin'"
Oh yeah, yeah yeah
"I've been telling you this since 'In the beginnin'"
Oh yeah, yeah yeah
"You gotta round up your sons and all of their women"
Oh yeah, yeah yeah
"Because you're going on a big boat ride
Now gather all the animals by the pair
Build a big ship about a million square
And put all the animals right in there
And sail away on the tide"
[PreChorus 1]
But what if Noah had just said "No sir"
Well we'd all have fins and scaly skins
We'd breathe through gills instead of nostrils
And we'd eat fish food instead of vitamin pills
[Chorus]
It's scary but it's truе
So do what the good book
Do what the good book
Do what the good book tеlls you to
Oh yeah, yeah yeah
[Verse 2]
Oh yeah, yeah yeah
Now God said to David, "Do you hear that drummin'?"
Oh yeah, yeah yeah
"You gotta great big Philistine army comin'"
Oh yeah, yeah yeah
"You wanna oil up your sling and really get it hummin'"
Oh yeah, yeah yeah
"Because you're gunna take the big guy down"
Well David got a dose of frights
But he wanted to be King of the Israelites
So he put old Goliath right in his sights
And he bounced one off of his crown
[PreChorus 2]
But what if David, had whined and waited
We'd live like slaves to Philistine knaves
Our bosses would all be 30 feet tall
We'd wash their clothes with a fire hose
And we'd sleep in the cracks between their toes
(Oh, I don't like that at all)
(That's not very nice)
[Chorus]
It's scary but it's true
And if I were you
I'd do what the good book
Do what the good book
Do what the good book tells me to
Oh yeah, yeah yeah
Do what the good book tells me to
Oh yeah, yeah yeah
Do what the good book tells me to
