Jonah Was A Prophet (From "Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie" Soundtrack)

When I was a boy, I went to church back home in Arizona

And that is where I heard the tale of a man whose name was Jonah

Now Jonah was a prophet, but that's not why he's remembered

We tell the tale, 'cause in a whale, he nearly was dismembered

Jonah was a prophet (ooh-ooh)

But he really never got it (sad but true)

If you've been watching you can spot it (a-doodley-doo)

He did not get the point

Compassion and mercy from me to you and you to me

Exactly what God wants to see and yes, that is the point

Jonah was a prophet (ooh-ooh)

But he really never got it (sad but true)

If you've been watching you can spot it (a-doodley-doo)

He did not get the point

Now Jonah set sail on a pirate ship in a dreadful gale

Got eaten up by a giant whale

But managed not to be dead

You'd think he would learn a lot from being saved from an awful spot

But the second chance that he had got, he didn't want to be spread

So poor old Jonah

And now he's all alone now

Got to use a megaphone now

To get it through to his head, hey!

Jonah was a prophet (ooh-ooh)

But he really never got it (sad but true)

If you've been watching you can spot it (a-doodley-doo)

He did not get the point

Jonah was a prophet (ooh-ooh)

But he really never got it (sad but true)

If you've been watching you can spot it (a-doodley-doo)

He did not get the point

Now true, in your life you probably don't ride on a camel

And you probably won't wake up inside a large aquatic mammal

But all the same like Jonah there is something you can do

Everyone deserves to get a second chance to come from you

Compassion and mercy from me to you and you to me

Exactly what God wants to see and yes, that is the point

Jonah was a prophet (ooh-ooh)

But he really never got it (sad but true)

Jonah was a prophet (ooh-ooh)

But he really never got it (sad but true)

Jonah was a prophet
