So you wanna go back to Egypt where it's warm and secure
Are sorry you bought the one way ticket when you thought you were sure
You wanted to live in the land of promise but now it's getting so hard
Are you sorry you're out here in the desert instead of your own back yard

Eating leaks and onions by the Nile
Ooh, what breath for dining out in style
Ooh, my life's on the skids
Building the pyramids

Well, there's nothing to do but travel and we sure travel a lot
'Cause it's hard to keep your feet from moving when the sand gets so hot
And in the morning it's manna hotcakes we snack on manna all day
And we sure had a winner last night for dinner, flaming manna souffle

Well we once complained for something new to munch
The ground opened up and had some of us for lunch
Ooh, such fire and smoke
Can't God even take that joke? Huh? No!

So you wanna to back to Egypt where your friends wait for you
You can throw a big party and tell the whole gang of what they said was all true
And this Moses acts like a big shot, who does he think he is?
Well, it's true that God works lots of miracles but Moses thinks they're all his

Oh, we're having so much trouble even now
Why'd he get so mad about that c-c-c-cow (that golden calf)
Moses seems rather idle
He just sits around, he just sits around and writes the Bible!

Oh, Moses, put down your pen!
What? Oh no, manna again?

Oh, manna waffles
Manna burgers
Manna bagels
Fillet of manna
Manna patty
Or manna bread
