The Things that are done by a God
The Things that are done by a God
Gods:
Oh the things that are done by a god
Are famed in song and story;
We love a fight and we take delight
In anything that's gory.
When we play games that are ecumenical,
Some of the girls get quite hysterical;
All the things, the bad bad things
That are done by a well-bred god.
Poor Helen of Troy, so people say,
She did things hard the Trojan way;
Now she's here with all her forces,
And of course is backing horses.
Foster Dulles cutting a caper's
Funnier than the comic papers;
Look at the way he'll rant and thunder,
Making a duner-headed blunder.
Oh, the things that are done by a god,
You'd think that we ought to know better.
If you want applause for starting wars,
Just drop us a little letter;
Helping Molotov just for the hell of it,
Blocking Suez just for the smell of it.
Oh, the things, the bad bad things
That are done by a well-bred god.
