Emmaus
Parody of "Shambala" by Three Dog Night
(Luke 24:13-32, Mark 16:12-13, John 19:25)
Walked away our troubles, walked away our pain
When today the Son rose up
Talked as we walked our road towards Emmaus way
When a stranger stunned both of us
Oh oh woo hoo hoo hoo hoo yeah ... Emm-a-a-a-us!
Oh oh woo hoo hoo hoo hoo yeah ... Emm-a-a-a-us!
Tell me what has happened, said the other guy
How come you both look glum a lot
We said, come on, buddy, everyone here knows why
Out on this road you've stumbled on
Oh oh woo hoo hoo hoo hoo yeah ... Emm-a-a-a-us!
Oh oh woo hoo hoo hoo hoo yeah ... Emm-a-a-a-us!
Galilee's bright light was a prophet from above
Now Jesus Christ died, and things all have crumbled up
LEAD
I can tell you, mister, there's no doubt that Jesus died
How all of the Romans humbled us
Now some of our sisters tried to tell us He's alive
Got all the hopes of some folks up
I don't know-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh yeah, He was de-yay-yay-yay-ead
Oh oh woo hoo hoo hoo hoo yeah, then the stra-a-anger said
How are your eyes blind when this all comes from above?
Doubts fill your bright minds, and your thoughts are jumbled up
There are countless divine signs in the Prophets, Psalms, and Law
Telling how
How the Lord's lifetime would involve such sufferin' love
Oh oh woo hoo hoo hoo hoo yeah ... Emm-a-a-a-us!
Oh oh woo hoo hoo hoo hoo yeah ... now we know who that Someone was
Oh oh woo hoo hoo hoo hoo yeah ... Son of God had come along
Oh oh woo hoo hoo hoo hoo yeah ,,, on the road to comfort us
