Banana Island

Got tired of the city life

Headed out for the bay

Me and my friend Earl, we was gone.

Wasn’t long before we set our sights on a Banana boat

And we started to set afloat

Sailing on the stormy seas

For Banana Island

And we’re going to Banana island

Yea, we’re going to Banana Island

Said, we’re going to Banana island,

Me and my friend Earl

Well wasn’t long before my friend Earl-rl-rl

He got sick–BLECH!

And I said, “Hey Earl, what’s wrong with you?”

“You’re looking blue!”

And I said “Hey Earl, Don’t give up hope”

As I pulled out my telescope!

Can’t believe my eyes! …I see

It’s Banana Island

Chorus

*Animals noises*

Now we’re all here on the beach,

Hanging Out in Bunches (laugh),

Eatin all those Banana’s for our lunches…

And I said “Hey, Earl,  I think it’s time to split!”

“Guess we’ll just peel on out now” (Hahaha)

Cuz that’s the way it goes…

On Banana Island

Pharoh, Pharoh (Extended Morbid Version)

<blockquote>Pharaoh Pharaoh, Oh baby, Let my people go! (yeah, yeah, yeah . . .)

Pharaoh Pharaoh, Oh baby, Let my people go!

Well, the burning bush told me just the other day

That I should come over here and say

Got to get my people out of Pharaoh’s hand

And lead them on over to the promised land.

Pharaoh Pharaoh, Oh baby, Let my people go! (yeah, yeah, yeah . . .)

Pharaoh Pharaoh, Oh baby, Let my people go!

The Nile turned to blood! There were darkened black skies!

Gnats and frogs! There were locusts and flies!

The first born died, causing Egypt to grieve,

Finally Pharaoh said, “Y’all can leave!”

Pharaoh Pharaoh, Oh baby, Let my people go! (yeah, yeah, yeah . . .)

Pharaoh Pharaoh, Oh baby, Let my people go!

Well, all of God’s people came to the Red Sea

With Pharaoh’s army coming after me

I raised my rod, stuck it in the sand

And all of God’s people walked across dry land.

Pharaoh Pharaoh, Oh baby, Let my people go! (yeah, yeah, yeah . . .)

Pharaoh Pharaoh, Oh baby, Let my people go!

Well all of Pharaoh’s army was coming too

So what do you think that I did do?

I raised my rod and cleared my throat

And all of Pharaoh’s army did the dead man’s float.

Pharaoh Pharaoh, O Babe, you shoulda let us go. (yeah, yeah, yeah . . .)

Pharaoh Pharaoh, O Babe, you shoulda let us go.

A few months later we decided to stop,

Moses climbed up on the mountaintop,

So we pitched our tents and set up our cots,

And Moses came back with lots of ‘Thou Shalt Nots’

Pharaoh Pharaoh, O Baby, why’d you let us go?  (no, no, no . . .)

Pharaoh Pharaoh, O Baby, why’d you let us go?

Forty years later, it’s comin’ to an end;

The promised land was just around the bend.

So Moses climbed up on the mountainside,

And after he saw it, ol’ Moses died.

Well that’s the story of the stubborn goat.

Pharaoh should’ve know that chariots don’t float.

The lesson is simple, it’s easy to find,

When God says, “GO!” you had better mind!
