The Begat versuri

The Begat lyrics by David Wayne Actor, Original Broadway Cast of Finians Rainbow

THREE GOSPELEERS
The Lord made Adam
The Lord made Eve
He made ‘em both a little bit naive
They lived as free as the summer breeze
Without pajamas and without chemise
Until they stumbled on the apple trees
Then she looked at him and he looked at her
And they knew immediately what the world was fur

FIRST GOSPELEER
He said give me my cane
He said give me my hat

THREE GOSPELEERS
The time has come
To bеgin the begat

SECOND GOSPELEER, spoken
The bеgat, the begat

THREE GOSPELEERS
So they begat Cain
And they begat Abel
Who begat the rabble at the Tower of Babel

SECOND GOSPELEER, spoken
They begat the Cohens

FIRST GOSPELEER, spoken
And they begat O’Rourkes

THREE GOSPELEERS
And they begat the people who believed in storks

SECOND GOSPELEER
Lordy, Lordy

THREE GOSPELEERS
How they did begat!

SECOND GOSPELEER
How they did be begat

THREE GOSPELEERS
Even more than that
When the begat got to gettin’ under par
They begat the daughters of the D.A.R.
They begat the Babbitts of the bourgeoisie
They begat the misbegotten G.O.P.

SECOND GOSPELEER
It was a-pleasin’ to Jezebel
A-pleasin’ to Ruth

THIRD GOSPELEER
It pleased the League of Women Shoppers in Duluth

FIRST GOSPELEER
Though the movie censors tried the facts to hide
The movie goers up and multiplied

SECOND GOSPELEER
Lordy, Lordy

THIRD GOSPELEER
How they multiplied

SECOND GOSPELEER
How they multiplied

THIRD GOSPELEER
How they multiplied

FIRST GOSPELEER
Soon it swept the world

THIRD GOSPELEER
Every land and lingo

SECOND GOSPELEER
It became the rage

FIRST GOSPELEER, spoken
It was bigger than bingo

THREE GOSPELEERS
The white begat, the red begat
The folks who should have stood in bed begat
The Greeks begat, the Swedes begat

SECOND GOSPELEER, spoken
Why, even Britishers in tweeds begat

THREE GOSPELEERS
And Lordy, Lordy, what their seeds begat
The Lapps and Lithuanians begat
Scranton Pennsylvanians begat
Strict vegetarians begat
Honorary Aryans begat
Startin’ from Genesis, they begat
Heroes and menaces begat
Fat filibusterers begat
Income tax adjusterers begat
‘Twas nafchaler and nafchaler to begat
And sometimes a bachelor, he begat
It didn’t matter whichaways they begat
Sons of habitués begat

So bless them all who go to bat
And heed the call of the begat
