Oh Jonah he was desperate in the belly of the whale Well Jonah had a plan he knew he couldn't fail
He raised his head on high and looking for the sky And he sang his song so pretty the whale told him goodbye
You got to sing you children sing sing you children sing I only know one thing hey hey hey sing Sou children sing everybody sing you children sing sing your troubles away
Well Moses said good Lord open up these waters for me So I can get your chidren across the salty sea
Well the Lord parted the waters and singing hand in hand Moses and the children walked over to the promised land
You got to sing you children sing... Sing you children sing sing your troubles away
Oh Joshua had a plan at the walls of Jericho He'd march around those walls and on his horn he'd blow
That horn would play a tune and sing a happy song When Joshua got through those walls came tumbling down
You got to sing you children sing... You got to sing you children sing sing your troubles away Sing you children sing sing your troubles away You got to sing you children sing sing your troubles away
