Father, son, holy cow Well, well Moses went up to the mountain high To find out from God, "Why did you make us? Why?" Secret words in a secret room He said, "Wop-bop-a-lu-bop-a-lop-bam-boom" I did not put you here to suffer I did not put you here to whine I put you here to love one another And to get out and have a good time, now, now, now Let my people go-go-go (yeah-yeah-yeah) You gotta let my people go-go-go (hey-hey) Let my people go-go-go You gotta let my people go... Yeah Joshua fit the Battle of Jericho He tell the boys with the horns get down and blow They rear back aim they bells at the stars They said, "Beat me big daddy, eight to the bar" I did not put you here to suffer I did not put you here to whine I put you here to love one another And to get out and have a good time, now, now, now Let my people go-go-go (yeah-yeah) You gotta let my people go-go-go Let my people go-go-go You gotta let my people go... What I said Now Jesus went out for a walk with His mother The scribes and the pharisees plotting hugger-mugger They locked Him up and they threw away the key He said, "Why's everybody always picking on me?" I did not put you here to suffer No! I did not put you here to whine I put you here to love one another Yes! And to get out and have a good time, now, now, now Let my people go-go-go (yeah-yeah-yeah) You gotta let my people go-go-go (you gotta, you gotta) Let my people go-go-go You gotta let my people go-go-go (go-go-go) Let my people go-go-go (singing choir with me) Let my people go-go-go (you gotta think put it how) Let my people go-go-go (baptize, amen) You gotta let my people go... Got to let my people go, oh Agh
