[C] [Dm] So you want [Am] to go back [G] to Egypt, [F] [Bb] where it's [Am] warm and [C] secure.
[Dbm] [Dm] Are you sorry [Am]
about the [G] one [F]-way ticket [Eb] when you thought you [C] were sure?
[Db] You [Dm] wanted to live in [Am] the land of [G] promise, [F] but [Bb] not to get [F] things so [C] hard.
[Dbm] [Dm] Are you [Am] sorry you're [G] out here in [F] the desert [Eb] instead of your own [C] backyard?
[F] [A] Eating leeks [Dm] and [Cm] onions by [Bb] the night.
[Gm] Ooh, [Bb] [Eb] [G]
I'd [Cm] breath for dining [Bbm] out [Ab] in style.
[Gb] [C]
Ooh, find [F] the [Bb] skids, [Ab] [G]

[C] [Dbm] [Am]
[G] [F] [Eb]
[C] [Dm] Well, [Am] there's nothing [G] to do but travel, [F] and we [Am] sure travel a [C] lot.
[Db] Cause it's [Am] hard to keep [G] your [Dm] feet from moving [Eb] when the sand gets [C] so hot.
[Dm] And in the [Am] morning it's [G] manna [Am] hotcakes.
[Bb] We snack [F] on manna all [Db] day.
[Dm] And they sure [Am] had a winner [G] last night [Am] for dinner, [Eb] flaming manna [C] souffle.
[F] Well, we [Eb] once complained [Dm] for [Cm] something new to [Ab] mush.
[Gm] [Fm] The [Eb] ground [G] opened up and [Cm] had some [Bbm] of us [Ab] for lunch.
[B] [F]
[Cm] Ooh, [F] such fire [Bb] and smoke.
[Ab] [G] Can [Dm] God [A] even take [G] our [C] joke?

[C] [B] [Dm] [Am]
[G] [Eb]
[C] [Dm] So you want [Am] to go back [G] to Egypt, [A] [Bb] where your friends [Am] wait for [C] you.
[Db] [Dm] You can [Am] throw a big party [G] and tell the [F] whole gang [Eb] what they said was [C] all true.
[Db] And [Dm] this Moses [Am] acts like [G] a big [A] shot.
[Bb] Who'd he [F] think he [C] is?
[Db] [Dm] That's [Am] true, God [G] works lots of miracles, [Eb] but Moses thinks [C] they're all his.
[F] Well, I'm having [Eb]
so [Dm] much trouble [Cm] even [Bb] now.
[Ab]
[Gm] [Fm] [Eb] Why'd [Db] he get [Cm] so [Bbm] mad about [Ab] that?
Ow, that [F] Moses.
[Cm]
[F] Moses seems rather [Bb] idle.
He just sits [G] around, he [Dm] just [G] sits around and writes [C] the Bible.
[A] [Dm] Ah, [Am]
[G] Moses, [A] [Bb] put down your [F]
pen.
[C] [Db] [Dm] What?
[Am]
Oh [G] no.
[Dm] [Bb] Manna again?
[C] [A] [Dm] Oh, [Am]
[G] [Bb] manna [F] waffles.
[C] [Dm] [G]
[Bb] Manna [F] burgers.
