Tedious

Moses gave Joshua the rod

To lead the children to the Promised Land

Selassie gave Michael the rod

To lead the children to the Promised Land

Sipple done and tedious come

It makes no sense beating up our gums

Sipple done and tedious come

It makes no sense beating up our gums

Lets get together

And help each other

To build a new island in the sun

Gather up your flocks my friends

Soon there’ll be a great exodus

Sipple gone and tedious a come

Just bang your belly and sit down steady

It tedious a yard

It tedious abroad

Gather up your flock my friends

Soon there’ll be a great exodus

Moses gave Joshua the rod

To lead the children to the Promised Land

Selassie gave Michael the rod

To lead the children to the Promised Land

It makes no sense to sit and cry

When there’s no water the well run dry

It makes no sense to sit and cry

When there’s no water the well run dry

Let’s get together

And help each other

To build a new island in the sun
