[Verse 1]
There was a wicked messenger, from Eli he did come
With a mind that multiplied the smallest matter
When questioned who had sent for him, he answered with a thumb
For his tongue, it could not speak, but only flatter
[Verse 2]
He stayed behind the assembly hall, it was there that he made his bed
And oftentimes he could be seen returning
Ohhhh
Till one day he just appeared with a note in his hand which read
"The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning"
Whoo-hoo-hoo hoo
[Verse 3]
The leaves began a-fallin', and the seas began to part
And the people that confronted him were many
Oh-oh-ohh
The leaves began a-fallin', and the seas began to part
And the people that confronted him were many
And he was told these last few words, which opened up his heart
"If you cannot bring good news, then don't bring any" (Whoo)
Oh-oh-ohh
If you cannot bring good news, then don't bring any
Whooo hoo-hoo-hoo
Ohhhh
It opened up his heart
One so used to this time [?]
Whoo-hoo-hoo
