Silly Silly People

by S. Edwards and R. Rhymer


Noah told the people that the rain was going to fall,
Noah told the people they better get on the ball,
Noah told the people to repent and turn to God,
‘Cause God had had it up to here, and the wicked will be trod.

Those silly, silly people! Why were they all so blind?
We certainly would never be a people of that kind!

Lehi told the people that Jerusalem would fall,
Lehi told the people they better get on the ball,
Lehi told the people to repent and turn to God,
‘Cause God had had it up to here, and the wicked will be trod.

Those silly, silly people! Why were they all so blind?
We certainly would never be a people of that kind!

Samuel told the people as he stood upon the wall,
That Christ would come in five short years and save them from the fall,
Samuel told the people to repent and turn to God,
‘Cause God had had it up to here, and the wicked will be trod.

Those silly, silly people! Why were they all so blind?
We certainly would never be a people of that kind!

Our prophet tells the people that there’s not much time at all,
Our prophet tells the people they better get on the ball,
Our prophet tells the people to repent and turn to God,
‘Cause God has had it up to here, and the wicked will be trod.

So if we look into our pantries and find that they are bare,
And if the scriptures on our shelves show no wear or tear,
Could we be silly people? Are we possibly that kind?
That we refuse to hear our God, could we be, oh, so blind?
