Those Canaan Days<br />

Do you remember the good years in Canaan<br />

The summers were endlessly gold<br />

The fields were a patchwork <strong>of</strong> clover<br />

The winters were never too cold<br />

We'd stroll down the boulevards together<br />

And everything round us was fine<br />

Now the fields <strong>are</strong> dead and b<strong>are</strong><br />

No joie de vivre anywhere<br />

Et maintenant we drink a bitter wine<br />

Those Canaan days we used to know<br />

Where have they gone, where did they go<br />

Eh bien, raise your berets<br />

To those Canaan days<br />

Do you remember those wonderful parties<br />

The splendour <strong>of</strong> Canaan's cuisine<br />

Our extravagant, elegant soirees<br />

The gayest the Bible has seen<br />

It's funny but since we lost Joseph<br />

We've gone to the other extreme<br />

No-one comes to dinner now<br />

Let My People Go (Go Down Moses)<br />

When Israel was in Egypt's land,<br />

Let <strong>my</strong> people go!<br />

Oppressed so hard they could not stand,<br />

Let <strong>my</strong> people go!<br />

Go down Moses, way down in Egypt's land;<br />

Tell old Pharaoh, "Let <strong>my</strong> people go!"<br />

"Thus saith the Lord," bold Moses said,<br />

"Let <strong>my</strong> people go!<br />

If not, I'll smite your first-born dead,<br />

Let <strong>my</strong> people go!"<br />

Go down Moses, way down in Egypt's land;<br />

Tell old Pharaoh, "Let <strong>my</strong> people go!"<br />

The Lord told Moses what to do,<br />

Let <strong>my</strong> people go!<br />

To lead the children <strong>of</strong> Israel thro',<br />

Let <strong>my</strong> people go!<br />

Go down Moses, way down in Egypt's land;<br />

We only eat them anyhow<br />

I even find I'm missing Joseph's dreams<br />

Those Canaan days we used to know<br />

Where have they gone, where did they go<br />

Eh bien, raise your berets<br />

To those Canaan days<br />

It's funny but since we lost Joseph<br />

We've gone to the other extreme<br />

Perhaps we all misjudged the lad<br />

Perhaps he wasn't quite that bad<br />

And how we miss his entertaining dreams<br />

Those Canaan days we used to know<br />

Where have they gone, where did they go<br />

Eh bien, raise your berets<br />

To those Canaan days<br />

Eh bien, raise your berets<br />

To those Canaan days<br />

Tell old Pharaoh, "Let <strong>my</strong> people go!"<br />

When they had reached the other shore,<br />

Let <strong>my</strong> people go!<br />

They sang the song <strong>of</strong> triumph o’er,<br />

Let <strong>my</strong> people go!<br />

Go down Moses, way down in Egypt land;<br />

Tell old Pharaoh, "Let <strong>my</strong> people go!"<br />

The Frog <strong>Song</strong><br />

One morning when pharoah awoke in his<br />

bed<br />

There were frogs in his bed<br />

and frogs on his head<br />

Frogs on his nose<br />

and frogs on his toes<br />

Frogs here<br />

Frogs there<br />

Frogs were jumping everywhere.<br />
