This Makes The Dead Walk Songtext
von James Booth & The Return

THIS
MAKES
THE
DEAD
WALK

Now gather ′round me, children
(Oh yeah)
Gather 'round and sing
(Oh yeah)
And let me tell you a story, now
′Bout the once and future king
(What's his name)
His name is Jesus
(Say it again)
His name is Jesus
(Oh yeah)
And now we're gonna sing his song
Yes and thank you please us


He took up his disciples
(Where)
Took them to the hill
(What did he say)
And he said "If you want eternal life
Then sing this as you will"

He said, "A-hey-hey-hey
Ooh-la-la
Say, say, say and
A-sha-na-na
This makes snakes turn into chalk
This makes water solid as rock
This makes the sick well
Makes the mute talk
This makes the sky blue
This makes the dead walk


Now gather ′round me, children
(Oh yeah)
Gather ′round and sing
(Oh yeah)
And let me tell you a story, now
'Bout the once and future king
(What′s his name)
His name is Arthur
(Say it again)
His name is Arthur
(Oh yeah)
And in my oh-so-humble opinion
He's my favorite martyr

He took the knights of the table
(Where)
Took them to the hill
(What did he say?)
And he said "If you want the holy grail
Then sing this as you will"

He said, "A-hey-hey-hey
Ooh-la-la
Say, say, say and
A-sha-na-na
This makes snakes turn into chalk
This makes water solid as rock
This makes the sick well
Makes the mute talk
This makes the sky blue
This makes the dead walk
