Man on the Run
Parody of "Band on the Run" by Paul McCartney & Wings
(Jonah 1-3; Nahum 1:1-3, 1:9)
Stuck inside this poor whale - sittin' by his liver
Where is Jacques Cousteau at - times like this?
Why you - Jonah? You - Jonah? You?
If I ever get out of here - goin' to Nineveh today
With the message You shared with me
I'll let You have the final say
If I ever get out of here (If You let me get out of here)
Well, the waves exploded and they thought we'd crash
As we sailed into the storm
And the first mate said to go check in my bed
I hope I wasn't snorin'
Man on the run, man on the run
As he came to my bed, the sailor said
"We're searching every bunk
For the man on the run - the man on the run
The man on the run - the man on the run"
Well, no one would take and throw me in the tide
Till I told them that they must
And a whale was swimming -- it had been prepared
For the rabbi on the run
Man on the run, man on the run
And the day I ran, a whale was sent
To burp when I succumbed
As a man on the run - man on the run
Yeah, the man on the run - man on the run
Man on the run, man on the run
Well, it's nice of God to send this blessed whale
'Cause then I didn't drown
In the town of Nineveh I said, Repent!
And my message was profound
Man on the run, man on the run
And the town that was
Re-bell-i-ous
Returned to serve the Lord
Like the man on the run, the man on the run
The man on the run, the man on the run
