Two By Two: Why Me?
You want us to build a what?
It's gonna do what?
40 days and 40 what?
Listen, Lord why me?
If you look at me closely
You'll notice that a sailor I'm not meant to be
I'm as thin as a rail, I'm too fragile too frail
Why me? Why me? Why me?
I get pains in unorthodox places
I'm as physically thick as a flea
I'm no leader of men, and I drink now and then
Why me? Why me? Why me?
I would gladly do all you command me
I would gladly go out on a limp
But it's too big an order you hand me
And what's worse I don't know how to swim
Let me give you the name of some fellas
Who I know for a fact would be free
They could possibly do what you're asking me to
Let's see, let's see, let's see
There's Marem the teacher, a man among men
He may be too old, he's six hundred and ten
There's Tubal the butcher, now, he isn't too strong
There's Uzzal the sissy, he's totally wrong
There's Sabat, the salesman, oh he carry his load
He's young and he's smart, he's out on the road
I got it, I got it, there's Shemek the wise
Oh you couldn't do better Lord, he's really a price
He's noble, he's forthright, he's honest, he's bright
Ooh forget about Shemek, he died Friday night
Lord, I know why you paid me a visit
And I know why I am your nominee
Although perfect I'm not, I'm the best of the lot
I see why me, why me?
You send out the news that I'm taking the cruise
Good luck! You're stuck with me
With me, I'll go, I know why me
It's gonna do what?
40 days and 40 what?
Listen, Lord why me?
If you look at me closely
You'll notice that a sailor I'm not meant to be
I'm as thin as a rail, I'm too fragile too frail
Why me? Why me? Why me?
I get pains in unorthodox places
I'm as physically thick as a flea
I'm no leader of men, and I drink now and then
Why me? Why me? Why me?
I would gladly do all you command me
