Now this is the story of the prodigal son
He said, 'It's time I had some fun'
So he sidled up to his old man
And this is how the tale began
He said, 'Father, dear, don't think me rude
But I must know, what's happening, dude?
I'm stuck here on your large estate
And you're so rich, there's no debate
It's clear to me, there is no doubt
That I am sadly missing out', yeah
His dad said, 'Hey son, that is cool
Though I'd prefer you stay at school
Here's some cash, but don't be slow
To make good choices as you go'
Yeah, bro (you know) oh...
This is the story-ory-ory (tell me a story)
Story of the prodigal son (what?)
This is the story-ory-ory (come on)
We've only just begun
So the son headed down to the big, big city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
And finding friends was not too hard
With a stack of cash and a credit card
His heart back home, he soon forgot
As he traveled the globe on a super yacht
Then he bought himself a red Ferrari
And attended all the celebrity parties
But the spending spree, there was no stopping
And soon he discovered online shopping
When he ordered a sweater from Amazon
'Oh no! The money's gone!'
This is the story-ory-ory (tell me a story)
Story of the prodigal son (what?)
This is the story-ory-ory (come on, come on)
Is his fortune gone?
Now the son was down and he was out
He was the biggest bum there was about
He was tired and hungry, sad and blue
He said, 'Hey man, I never knew
If this is how salvation feels
I'd trade it for some home cooked meals
Why, I'm so famished, I could eat
A bowl of pig's foot for a treat'
And so this young man headed down
The road that lead to his own town
And as his household came in sight
The son was filled with fear and fright
His father raced out through the door
Without a piece of 2 by 4, ahh...
This is the story-ory-ory (tell me a story)
Story of the prodigal son (what?)
This is the story-ory-ory (come on, come on)
Is his fortune gone?
'My son! My son!', the father cried
'You've been so long, we thought you died
Let's call the neighbors and their friends
A party till the evening ends'
Oh, good, I do like a good party
I'm not sure if you're invited (really?)
So the dad, the dad forgave the son
He forgot the nasty things he'd done
The love of God's like that, you see
It reaches you and it reaches me
No matter what you say or do
He'll always keep on loving you
Who sees His love and you will find
A party like it's 1999, yeah, boy! Ow!
Yee-hee-hee-hee! Ahh...
This is the story-ory-ory (tell me a story)
Story of the prodigal son (what?)
This is the story-ory-ory (come on, come on)
Now the story is done (the prodigal son)
(What?) (the prodigal son)
(Whoa)
