You can [Am]throw a big party
and [D]tell the whole gang
[C]Of what they sai[Bb]d was all tru[G]e
And [E]this [Am]Moses acts like a big [D]shot[Am]
Who does [F]he think [C]he [G]is?
[E]Well it's tru[Am]e that God
works lots of [D]miracles
But [C]Moses [Bb]thinks they're all [G]his

[Verse 6]
Oh we're [C]having so much [Am]trouble
[C]even [Gm]now[F][Eb][Dm][Cm]
[Bb]Why'd he get so mad [Gm]about [Bb]that[F][Eb]
c-c-c-cow (that golded [Cm]calf)
[Gm]Moses [C]seems rather [F]idle
He just sits around,
[D]he just sit[Am]s aro[D]und and writes the Bib[G]le!
[E]Oh,

[Verse 7]
[Am]Moses,
