So you wanna go back to Egypt

Where it's warm and secure

Are you sorry you bought the one way ticket

When you thought you were sure? You wanted to live in the land of promise

But now it's getting so hard

Are you sorry you're out here in the desert

Instead of your own backyard? Eating leeks and onions by the Nile

Ooh, what breath but dining out in style

Ooh, my life's on the skids, give me the pyramids

Well, there's nothing to do

But travel and we sure travel a lot 'Cause it's hard to keep your feet from moving

When the sand gets so hot

And in the morning it's manna hotcakes

We snack on manna all day And they sure had a winner last night for dinner

Flaming manna souffle

Well, we once complained for something new to munch

The ground opened up and had some of us for lunch Ooh, such fire and smoke

Can't God even take a joke, huh?

(No)

So you wanna go back to Egypt

Where old friends wait for you

You can throw a big party and tell the whole gang

That what they said was all true And this Moses acts like a big-shot

Who does he think he is?

It's true that God works lots of miracles

But Moses thinks they're all his Well, I'm having so much trouble even now

Why'd he get so mad about that cow, that golden cow

Moses sits rather idle, he just sits around

He just sits around and writes the Bible Oh, Moses, put down your pen

What? Oh no, manna again?

Oh, manna waffles, manna burgers

Manna bagels, fillet of manna

Manna patties, bamanna bread
