Parody of "Subterranean Homesick Blues" by Bob Dylan
(2 Timothy 3:15-16; Nehemiah 8:8)
Genesis and Exodus, then you got Leviticus
Numbers, Deuteronomy, then here’s where you’re gonna be
Josh-U-a, Judges, Ruth, and then you got a bunch of twos
First and Second Samuel, a pair of Kings and Chronicles
Look out, kids, we’re startin’ a list, God knows best and put Ezra next
He’s got Nehemiah, Esther, Job and Psalms and Proverbs
And then there’s Ecclesiastes with the Preacher
And the Song of Solomon and you’ve only done a third
Maybe you don’t know it but there’s a lot of prophets
Talkin’ about Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations
It’s Jeremiah’s sequel, followed by Ezekiel
Daniel and Hosea, Joel, oy, such a deal!
Look out, kids, there’s plenty more than this
Like Amos, Obadiah, the famous Jonah, Micah
Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai & Zechariah
Then there’s Malachi and 400 years of quiet
We’re done with the Old Testament there ain’t no book of Hezekiah
Oh, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, 1, 2
CORinthians YOU’RE in the Testament we call the New
GALatians SALvation Ephesians says it’s by grace and
It's in Philippians, Colossians are you listenin'
Look out next and 1 & 2 Thess
-alonians, and both Timothys, and Titus, oh, man
Then you got Philemon
When you finally roll through the Book they call the Hebrews
James oughta be there and First and Second Peter
Oh, First John, Second John, Third John, roll on
Jude is next to last and yes we’re finally at 66
Revelation and this conversation is done but
20 years of schoolin’ ain’t as good an education
Look out, kids, and read down the list
Better hunt down a Bible get yourself an eyeful
Pretty soon your liable to start your own revival
Don’t only read it once – you’d better keep on
It’s God’s own Word and He likes His book recycled
2 Timothy 3:15
... and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
