Wicked Messenger
There was a wicked messenger
from Eli he did come
With a mind that multiplied
the smallest matter
When questioned who had sent for him
For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter
He stayed behind the assembly hall
it was there that he made his bed
Until one day he just appeared
with a note in his hand which read
The leaves began to fallin'
And the seas began to part
And the people that confronted him were many
And he was told these last few words
Which opened up his heart
"If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any"
from Eli he did come
With a mind that multiplied
the smallest matter
When questioned who had sent for him
For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter
He stayed behind the assembly hall
it was there that he made his bed
Until one day he just appeared
with a note in his hand which read
The leaves began to fallin'
And the seas began to part
And the people that confronted him were many
And he was told these last few words
Which opened up his heart
"If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any"
