Why Him?

Lord, I've never doubted you. I do your work now as I always have.
And I know that it's wrong to judge your actions,
but one question is gradually driving me mad...

Why him?
He's an exasperating dolt.
I don't believe you'd pick someone as slow
and low and dumb as him, so why him?
He's an irritating clutz,
I think you're nuts to choose someone as tense
and dense and gone as him.

When there's so many folk to choose from in this
great, big wacky world.
It makes me judge your judgement,
choosing him to be your pearl.
And what I really don't understand, Lord,
make me know it, make me see:
Why him?
Why him?
Why not me?

Why him?
He's just a shell without a brain,
this is insane.
You can't expect this guy to lead a group away,
so why him?
Can't you see it for yourself?
It's just, he's lazy and he's crazy and
well....well...just look at him!

He's slower than a turtle and he's dimmer than the night,
he gets out-smarted by children four years old,
it isn't fair, it isn't right.
I've been loyal, Lord, for fourty years,
that's nearly all my life.

So, why him?
Why him?
Why not me?!

When there's so many folk to choose from
in this great, big, wacky world,
it makes me judge your judgement,
choosing him to be your pearl.
And what I really don't understand, Lord,
make me know it, make me see:

Why him?
Why him?
Why....not....me?
