lyrics

SOMETIME SOON

You're invited up to see the banker
He leans right across his desk
Shakes your hand with a smile on his face
And hands you a big fat check
CHORUS:
Must happen sometime soon, now
As the cow jumps over the moon
Must happen sometime soon

The President's signed the order
'Put the iron back into the mine
Put the coal back in so we can dig it again
And everything will be fine'
(CHORUS)

King Canute takes a walk down Main Street
The water's lapping the land
'The sea can't rise, it's all a pack of lies
I'll wave it back with my hand'
(CHORUS)

I had something important to tell you
What it was I seem to forget
I got me tune. The words must come soon.
It just hasn't happened yet
(CHORUS)

I'm sorry for all of you sinners
But I've got God on my side
When theRapture comes I'll be the one
To fly off into the sky (Bye bye)
(CHORUS)

Some folks write songs for money
But I wrote this song for my friends
I wrote it for them so they could all join in
Now they're wondering just when it will end
FINAL CHORUS:
Must happen sometime soon, now
As the cow jumps over the moon
Must happen sometime soon, now
Must happen sometime soon
