Moses come ridin' up on a quasar
His spurs they were jingling, the door was ajar
His buckle was silver, his manner was bold
I asked him to come on in out of the cold
His brain was boiling, his reason was spent
Nothin' is borrowed, nothing is lent
I asked him for mercy, he gave me a gun
Now and again these things just got to be done
Abraham and Isaac sitting on a fence
You'd get right to work if you had any sense
You know the one thing we need is a left-hand monkey wrench
ย
Gideon come in with his eyes on the floor
Said, "You ain't got a hinge, you can't close the door"
Moses stood up a full six foot ten
Said, "You can't close the door when the wall's caved in"
I asked him for water, he poured me some wine
We emptied the bottle, broke into mine
You get what you came for and you're ready to go
And it's one in ten thousand that come for the show
Abraham and Isaac diggin' on a well
Mama come quick with the water witch spell
Oh, clear water well you can't ever tell
ย
Abraham and Isaac sitting on a fence
You'd get right to work if you had any sense
You know the one thing we need is a left-hand monkey wrench
ย
Last night I did this one electric
So tonight I'm doin' it acoustic
