[Verse 1]
Lil' Johnny came home from school
Hungry, tired, needin' some fuel
Went to find some fish sticks in the fridge
Johnny's dad was standing there, said
"Sit on down, son, and I'll prepare"
You'll never guess what that dad did!
Whoa, whoa, what's the deal?
He served up the weirdest meal
Sliding on his dinner plate
Johnny saw a rattlesnake!

[Chorus]
No good father's gonna give us something like that
Uh-uh, no way
Our good Father always does us good when we ask
But you gotta pray

[Verse 2]
Lil' Suzy woke up one day
Hungerin', hankerin' for some eggs
When in the room her dad appeared
Then he gave her something strange
It didn't help her hunger pangs
In fact, her brown eyes filled with tears
Hey hey, my oh my, what'd she see? And why’d she cry?
Breakfast made her want to run
It was a scorpion!
[Chorus]
No good father's gonna give us something like that
Uh-uh, no way
Our good Father always does us good when we ask
But you gotta pray
Oh, you gotta pray

[Outro]
Keep asking, keep hoping
Keep knocking, it'll open
Keep praying, keep seeking
God knows just what we're needing
Keep asking, keep hoping
Keep knocking, it'll open
Keep praying, keep seeking
God knows just what we're needing
Keep asking, keep hoping (No good father's gonna...)
Keep knocking, it'll open (...give us something like that)
Keep praying, keep seeking
God knows just what we're needing
Keep asking, keep hoping (No good father's gonna...)
Keep knocking, it'll open (...give us something like that)
Keep praying, keep seeking
God knows just what we're needing!
No good father's gonna give us something like that
Uh-uh, no way
Our good Father always does us good when we ask
Keep praying, keep seeking (But you gotta pray)
God knows just what we're needing!
