Parody of "She's Not There" performed by The Zombies and written by Rod Argent
(Acts 9:36-43)
The old ones told me about her -- the way she died
The young ones told me about her -- how all the people cried
But there's no need to say you're sorry
How do I know? I should have said
Please don't bother buying flowers
She's not dead
Well, let me tell you 'bout the way she rose
The lady Tabitha
From Joppa – I was there
They called her Dorcas, too
And, guys, she clearly died
But she's not dead
When those ones told me about her – what could I do?
They only told me about her – to pray, I knew
Now it's too late to pray for Dorky
How do I know? I should have said
Because our Lord Christ revived her
She's not dead
Well, let me tell you now to take a look
Today in Acts 9 – they summarized it there
Our Lord did something cool
And I can verify
That she's not dead
But it's no ancient, made-up story
How do I know? I should have said
People call me Simon Peter
She's not dead
Well, let me tell you 'bout the way she rose
The lady Tabitha
From Joppa – I was there
They called her Dorcas, too
And I said, girl, arise
Now she's not dead
Acts 9:40
Peter sent them all out of the room; then he got down on his knees and prayed.
Turning toward the dead woman, he said, "Tabitha, get up." She opened her eyes,
and seeing Peter she sat up.
