He's not like Isaiah but he's holy
Does not have Isaiah's way with words
He's not Jeremiah or Ezekiel my friends
He's not really famous like Daniel and them
Does not have a great big book
But the things that he said all came true

Obadiah wasn't a talky kind of guy
No, no, no
Obadiah wasn't a talky kind of guy
No, no, no

The prophets had words that they told the -- world
The longest of them was Jeremiah -- wooo
The prophet Isaiah had more chapters than he
But he double spaced them or something it seems
Along with those great big books
There's a dinky one-chapter book, too
CHORUS

The prophets had words that they told us
A lot of them wasted little time -- whooo
Zeph'niah, Joel, and Nahum wrote three chapters each
Habakkuk the same, Haggai one less than these
But topping the names of books with the thinnest of pages is who?
CHORUS

Obadiah 1:12
You should not look down on your brother in the day
Of his misfortune, nor rejoice over the people of
Judah in the day of their destruction, nor boast so
Much in the day of their trouble
