[Verse 1]
If I had been God
I would have rearranged the veins in the face to make them more resistant to alcohol and less prone to aging
If I had been God
I would have sired many sons and I would not have suffered the Romans to kill even one of them
If I had been God
With my staff and my rod
If I had been given the nod
I believe I could have done a better job

[Verse 2]
And if I were a drone
Patrolling foreign skies
With my electronic eyes
For guidance
And the element of surprise
I would be afraid
To find someone home
Maybe a woman at a stove
Baking bread
Making rice
Or just boiling down some bones
If I were a drone

[Verse 3]
Lay down Jerusalem
Lay your burden down
Jerusalem
Lay your burden down
Lay down Jerusalem
[Verse 4]
The temple's in ruins
The bankers get fat
The buffalo's gone
And the mountain tops flat
The trout in the streams are all hermaphrodite
You lean to the left but you vote to the right
Lay down
And under my Gulf Stream, in circular pools
There's ninety-nine cents' worth of drunkards and fools
Lay down

[Verse 5]
And if I were a Muslim
And you were a Jew
If I were a Mennonite
And you were an Hindu
Would we exchange
The weight of these chains
Chains of belief
And the carnage on the trains to turn over a new leaf

[Verse 6]
If I had been god
I would not have chosen anyone
I would have laid an even hand
On all my children everyone
Would have been content
To forgo Ramadan and Lent
Time better spent
In the company of friends
Breaking bread and mending nets
[Chorus]
Splish splash hallelujah
Splish splash hallelujah
Splish splash
Splish splash hallelujah

[Pre-Chorus 1]
There were ten in the pool
Some black some white
One yellow one drown
Then it was nine

[Chorus]
Splish splash
Splish splash hallelujah
Splish splash hallelujah
Splish splash hallelujah

[Pre-Chorus 2]
There were nine in the pool
The gamble laid
And Cain killed Abel
And then here was eight

[Chorus]
Splish splash
Splish splash hallelujah
Splish splash
Splish splash hallelujah
Splish splash
Splish splash hallelujah
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Eight different stairways
All leading to heaven
And the fox got the chicken
And then there was seven

[Chorus]
Splish splash
Splish splash hallelujah
Hallelujah
Splish splash hallelujah
Splish splash hallelujah

[Pre-Chorus 4]
Seven women all taking
Their kids to the Styx
One slipped on a stone
And then there were six

[Chorus]
Splish splash
Splish splash hallelujah
Splish splash hallelujah
Splish splash
Splish splash hallelujah

[Pre-Chorus 5]
Six pilgrims went under
To get baptized
One never come up
And then there was five

[Chorus]
Splish splash hallelujah
Splish splash hallelujah
Hallelujah
Splish splash
Splish splash hallelujah

[Pre-Chorus 6]
Now five is a number
That spanks of the devil
One took his own life to
Keep things level

[Chorus]
Splish splash
Splish splash hallelujah
Thank you brother
Splish splash hallelujah
Splish splash hallelujah

[Pre-Chorus 7]
With four you can make up
Two tag teams
Ding dong seconds gone
And then there were three

[Chorus]
Splish splash hallelujah
Splish splash hallelujah
Yeah, splish splash
Splish splash hallelujah

[Pre-Chorus 8]
Three fish in a pool
As a general rule
Is one two many
And the there were two

[Chorus]
Splish splash
Splish splash hallelujah
Splish splash hallelujah
Splish splash hallelujah

[Pre-Chorus 9]
There were two in the bed
And the little-one said roll over
You’re dead
Splish splash hallelujah
You’re dead
Splish splash hallelujah
Splish splash hallelujah

[Chorus]
Splish splash hallelujah
Splish splash hallelujah
Splish splash hallelujah
Splish splash hallelujah

[Verse 7]
The champion sits on his golden throne
In his echoing empty magnificent home
Looking out over the field of bones
The last one standing stands alone

[Chorus]
Splish splash hallelujah
Splish splash hallelujah
Splish splash hallelujah

[Verse 8]
The champion sits on his golden throne
In his echoing empty magnificent home
Looking out over the field of bones
The last one standing stands alone
Lay down
