APOLOGETIX - Cousin Zephaniah lyrics
rate meI’ve been doing some reading,
A book I’m sure we haven’t all searched out.
Habakkuk’s book precedes it,
Haggai’s come after, what a crowd, yeah!
Well, I heard his prophecies,
I heard they might have crowned someone he knew, yeah
Well, who is it, baby?
Who s he? I’ll tell you what you need to do, oh yeah!
Look at all the prophets, find the kind we know
Could be descended from the throne.
Chorus:
Now, he’s cousin Zephaniah
Of the Israelites
Yeah, it’s not Zechariah
Oh, but he’s real close by!
The times we live are changing
Josiah was a king who’d done some good, uh yeah!
But paganism started, inchin’ in with sin as best it could,
Ohh, it could!
It wouldn’t be the first time a king had gone astray,
But he threw them gods away!
Chorus:
From the cousin Zephaniah, yeha
Got the king Josiah
Oh, and also Jermiah
Yeah, probably both guys!
Oh, the prophet Zephaniah
Got the king Josiah, baby!
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh, the prophet Zephaniah, yeah!
He’s the great, great,
Great grandson of Hezekiah,
You know!
A good king long ago!
So he’s cousin Zephaniah
Yeah, to the king Josiah
Uh, it’s cousin Zephaniah
Yeah, to the king Josiah, yeah!
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh, cousin Zephaniah
Oh, my, yeah!
Of the Israelites, baby!
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh yeah!
Cousin Zephaniah
Just him and Jeremiah
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Yeah, yeah!
Come on, boys!
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Cousin Zephaniah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Cousin Zephaniah, na, na!
Of the Israelites,
Of the Israelites, baby!
