​I WANT A MARRIAGE LIKE THEY
​HAD IN THE BIBLE

I want a marriage like they
Had in the Bible, like they

Had in the Bible, like they

Had in the Bible, want a


I want a marriage like they

Had in the Bi-, because the Bi -

Because the Bible tells me so


Now, Abraham and Sarah had a marriage

But she could not bear him...a kid

So Sarah gave Abraham a slave girl

And pretty soon they did it and she did, Lord Lord

Pretty soon they did it and they did it and they did it

And they did it did it did it and she did


Now, I know slavery was band

But a woman should be free to give a slave girl to her husband


​          (chorus)


Now, Othneil and Achsah had a marriage

For she was a battle prize he’d won

Yes, he bravely fought to win Caleb’s daughter

And he was Caleb’s brother and his son-in-law

Yes, he was Caleb’s brother and his new son


Now, I know - sounds like incest

But a woman should be glad to be married off and princessed


          (chorus)


Now, if two brothers live together, and one dies

The other brother must marry his brother’s widow

For this is pleasing, yes it’s pleasing in God’s eyes


And if he should refuse

Then they must steal his shoes

And spit right in his face

It’s right there in the Bible


Now, Jezebel and Ahab had a marriage

And she began usurping all his power

She was wicked of course, but he could not divorce her

So he had her thrown right off the tower, Lord Lord

And sent the dogs, her carcass to devour


Now I know that seems excessive

But a woman should submit to her husband or be made a mess of


          (chorus)


Now if a man should take a woman to be his

And if it turns out he thinks she’s not a virgin

Well then her parents get a chance to prove she is


And if they let her down

Then every man in town

Shall stone her ‘til she’s dead

It’s right there in the Bible

I read it in the Bible


Now, Soloman and Naamah had a-- had a marriage

And they were together all their-- all their lives

And she was his, but he was pretty busy

‘Cause she was one of seven hundred wives, Lord Lord

Yes, Solomon had seven hundred wives

And three hundred concubines


Now I know that’s illegal

But a woman should be one of as many wives as her man can inveigle


          (chorus)
