To the tune of The Walloping Window Blind

A capital ship on which to leave Egypt
    Was The Walloping Window Blind
We would not dwell on plagues that fell
    Nor troubles of any kind.
We would not fear those forty years
    We'd sail all the way to Canaan land.
Tho' it wasn't so smart for when the seas did part
    It left us on dry land.

Chorus:
So go you Israelites go
    And do not go slow.
Send us never again those plagues ten
    For we had to shovel all that ice.
The darkness wasn't nice.
    And neither were the lice.
And we're tired of frogs so next time send hogs
    Or some herbs (we'll dip them twice).

The Pharoh said, "I'll soon be dead.
    So I want built a crypt."
So to get the gig, we said we'd make it big.
    The biggest in all Egypt.
Some corners we cut, when we put it up
    And to keep it under bi-i-id.
It was very crude and we built a cube
    Instead of a pyramid.

<Chorus>
We said we'd built a city and it'd be pretty
    and the Pharoh gave his OK.
But no money he gave and he made us slaves
    And his bills he would not pay.
Though on solid ground, the city fell down,
    As soon as we built it u-u-up.
For while Pharoh snoozed, the morter we used.
    Was made from apples and nuts.

<Chorus>

Daddy Dear
(
to the tune of Swing Low Sweet Chariot)

We climbed up the mountain and what did I see,
   Come and please carry me home.
A long, long trail a'windin' 'fore me
    Daddy won't you carry me home.

Chorus:
Come here (come here), my daddy dear
   Come and please carry me home.
Come here (come here), my daddy dear
   Come and please carry me home.

If you get to the summit before I do,
   Come and please carry me home.
It's 'cause I'm hikin' a mite slower than you
   So you better come and carry me home.
<Chorus>

If I get to the summit before you do,
   Come and please carry me home.
You'll find me there just a'waitin' for you
   so you can come and carry me home.
<Chorus>

When we stop for lunch or for a snack.
   Come and please carry me home.
You'll find that I've crawled right into your pack
   so you can come and carry me home.
<Chorus>

When we get to the bottom and to the car
   Come and please carry me home.
You'll find that I've not walked very far
   'Cause you came and carried me home.
<Chorus>

When I climb out of your pack at the end.
   Come and please carry me home
I'll crawl back in so we can do it again.
   'Cause I know you'll come and carry me home..
<Chorus>
