Oh Jonah he was desperate in the belly of the whale

Well Jonah had a plan, he knew he couldn't fail



He raised his head on high

And looking for the sky

And he sang his song so pretty

The whale told him goodbye



You got to sing you children sing

Sing you children sing

I only know one thing, hey! hey! hey!

Sing you children sing, everybody

Sing you children sing

Sing your troubles away



Well Moses said good Lord

Open up these waters for me

So I can get your chidren

Across the salty sea



Well the Lord parted the waters

And singing hand in hand

Moses and the children

Walked over to the promised land



You got to sing you children sing

Sing you children sing

I only know one thing, hey! hey! hey!

Sing you children sing, everybody

Sing you children sing

Sing your troubles away



Oh Joshua had a plan

At the walls of Jericho

He'd march around those walls

And on his horn he'd blow



That horn would play a tune

And sing a happy song

When Joshua got through

Those walls came tumbling down



You got to sing you children sing

Sing you children sing

I only know one thing, hey! hey! hey!

Sing you children sing, everybody

Sing you children sing

Sing your troubles away

You got to sing your troubles away

Sing your troubles away

Sing your troubles away

Sing your troubles away

Sing your troubles away
