My friend Bob works his job on the Sabbath
He should get stoned to death but he hasn’t
Then there’s Jim got his hair trimmed me oh my oh
The law forbids yet he did he’s got to die-oh

Then there’s Dave he wanted slaves and now he’s got ‘em
Had a look at the Good Book- not a problem
How I wish i could have shellfish but I’m no Dumbo
Ain’t going to Hell on the half shell for some Gumbo

Leviticus isn’t just about being gay oh
It has got a whole lot more to say oh
Nowadays things you say do not apply-oh
Can’t pick and choose what you use from the Bible

Couldn’t quit I must admit what can I say?
I tried to change the fact remains that I am left-handed
It’s a sin to touch the skin of a pig that’s dead oh
Sorry y’all no more football that’s what it said oh

My sister Rose got new clothes last semester
Now she’s forgot and she’s wearing cotton with polyester
My buddy Bjork ate some pork with a milkshake oh
Should they be stoned or can we burn them at the stake oh

Leviticus isn’t just about being gay oh
It has got a whole lot more to say oh
Nowadays things you say do not apply-oh
Can’t pick and choose what you use from the Bible
Can’t pick and choose what you use from the Bible
