GOD BLESS US—EVERYONEby John McMenamin I was kneeling by my bed last night Staring at the sky First I prayed for wee Sean Coyle That God would heal is eye. Then I prayed for Jordie Who lost his friend, wee Jack He’s gone to the ferret heaven And he ain’t coming back. Then I prayed for Michael I know he’d pray for me Don’t let him get excited And run into a tree. I prayed then for James Morton Out there on his rounds God keep away the muggers Don’t let them steal his pounds. Then I prayed for Gerry I hope he will atone Keep his eyes off other women Leave Mike Nesbitts wife-alone. I know she is good looking And I feel the same way too But Gerry, you have got a wife Even God won’t give you two. Then there was a blinding flash And God appeared to me You’ve asked me for five things said he I can only grant you three. But we came to an arrangement I had to take two back So Sean, you only need one eye And James—Please watch your back. <...back |
