How Great Our Lord Lyrics by Randy Newman

Randy Newman’s Faust

0

[ANGELS]
Oh, Lord
Oh, Lord

[LORD]
Sorry ladies, to make you wait
There's a couple of Buddhists at the Pearly Gate
Ask my permission to come on board

[ANGELS]
What'd you do Lord?

[LORD]
I had to have 'em put out with the trash
Sing it!

[ANGELS & LORD]
Oh Lord, (Heavenly) how great our Lord!
Sing to me
Oh Lord, (Hmm) how great our Lord!

[LORD]
Ladies, ladies
Why does the earth glide by below
Like a great big rubber ball?

[ANGEL]
It is like a rubber ball

[LORD]
Why does the bird fly through the sky?
Why does the apple fall?

[ANGELS]
We don't know, Lord!

[LORD]
Folks up here ask me why
Things go so badly down below
I tell them when they ask me why
I really do not know

[ANGEL]
But you do know, don't you Lord?

[LORD]
Of course I do! Sing it!

[ANGELS & LORD]
Oh Lord, (Sing it, ladies) how great our Lord!
A-ha, the Great
Oh Lord, how great our Lord! (Hmm)
So great

[LORD]
Folks up here ask me why
Things go so badly down below
I like to tell them when they ask me why
I say I really do not know

[ANGEL]
But you do know, right?

[LORD]
You know it! C'mon!

[ANGELS & LORD]
Oh Lord, how great our Lord! (Hahahaha)
Oh Lord, (Ooh) how great our Lord! (Hmm, take it home)
Oh Lord, (It's the last show) how great our Lord! (Well...)
Oh Lord, (Rapture!) how great our Lord!
Oh...
