Were You There? (The Ken Ham Song)

Jesus walked upon the water! Were you there?

Jesus walked upon the water,
Though he knew he hadn't oughter
Jesus walked upon the water! Were you there?
(Were you there?!)

Adam wandered in the garden! Were you there?
(Were you there?!)
Adam wandered in the garden! Were you there?
(Were you there?!)
Adam wandered in the garden!
Eve arrived and Adam hardened;
Adam wandered in the garden! Were you there?
(Were you there?!)

Chorus: 
Jesus walked upon the water! Were you there?
(Were you there?!)
Jesus walked upon the water! Were you there?
(Were you there?!)
Jesus walked upon the water, 
Though he knew he hadn't oughter
Jesus walked upon the water! Were you there?
(Were you there?!)

Brother Noah was a boater! Were you there?
(Were you there?!)
Brother Noah was a boater! Were you there?
(Were you there?!)
Brother Noah was a boater,
You're descended from a floater,
Brother Noah was a boater! Were you there?
(Were you there?!)

Chorus

God burned Sodom and Gomorrah! Were you there?
(Were you there?)
God burned Sodom and Gomorrah! Were you there?
(Were you there?)
God burned Sodom and Gomorrah!
Oh, the horrah! Oh, the horrah!
God burned Sodom and Gomorrah! Were you there?
(Were you there?)

After reading PZ Myers post on this and leaving an angry post about it on my blog, I needed this laugh. Humor always keeps my brain from exploding about things like this. Thank you, a million times, thank you.

Physicalist said...

Help me out here. I take it there's a tune that goes with this, but I can't place it.

I'm feeling unfulfilled . . .

Cuttlefish said...

Physicalist--

There are probably many tunes that work; the one I think of is "she'll be comin' 'round the mountain".

My guess is that other people may be using other tunes.

Physicalist said...

Thank you!

Now I feel fulfilled. (He said with a smile on his face.)

Cuttlefish: Awesome work. Brings out the Appalachian in me, even if I live in Australia.

Smoggy: Your absence on Pharyngula is noted. Why so long?
