I Want a Marriage Like They Had in the Bible Lyrics by Roy Zimmerman

You’re Getting Sleepy

2011

[Chorus]
I want a marr-, want a marriage like they
Had in the Bible, like they
Had in the Bible, like they
Had in the Bible
I want a marriage like they
Had in the Bi-, because the Bi-
Because the Bible tells me so
[Verse 1]
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 banned
But a woman should be free to give a slave girl to her husband
[Chorus]
I want a marr-, I want a marriage like they
Had in the Bible, like they
Had in the Bible, like they
Had in the Bible
I want a marriage like they
Had in the Bible, because
Because the Bible tells me so
[Verse 2]
Now, Othneil and Achsah had a marriage
For she was a battle prize he’d won
Yes, he fought to win Caleb’s daughter
And he was Caleb’s brother and his son-in-law
Yeah, he was Caleb’s brother and his son
Now, I know - sounds like incest
But a woman should be proud to be married off and princessed
[Chorus]
I want a marriage like they
Had in the Bible, like they
Had in the Bible, like they
Had in the Bible, baby
I want a marriage like they
Had in the Bi-, because the Bi-
Because the Bible tells me so
[Bridge]
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 she must steal his shoes
And spit right in his face
It’s right there in the Bible
[Verse 3]
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]
I want a marriage like they
Had in the Bible, like they
Had in the Bible, like they
Had in the Bible
I want a marriage like they
Had in the Bi-, because the Bi-
Because the Bible tells me so
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 4]
Now, Solomon 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]
I want a marriage like they
Had in the Bible, like they
Had in the Bible, like they
Had in the Bible
I want a marriage like they
Had in the Bi-, because the Bi-
Because the Bible tells me so
I want a hooh!
Like they hooh!
I want a hooh!
Like they hooh!
I want a hooh!
Like they had in the Bible
Because the Bible tells me so
Why? Because the Bible tells me so
Why? Because the Bible tells me so
Bible tells me so
