"Parable Guy"  This song was sung to the tune of American Pie by Don McLean

Lyrics

 * A long, long time ago
 * I can still remember how amusing
 * He could make things sound
 * And I knew if I'd had my pen
 * Then I should take notes even then
 * And maybe then I'd have them for you now
 * Every word He said was clever
 * And every parable I remember
 * Matthew has recorded
 * And Luke I think has more yet
 * I can't remember if I tried
 * What I learned about in junior high
 * But some things taught by Jesus Christ
 * Remain refusing to die
 * So Bye, bye, Mr. Parable Guy
 * Got my blessings Through the lessons Taught by heavens Messiah
 * Them good old days of seeking wisdom divine
 * Sittin' listenin' to the Parable Guy
 * Listenin' to the Parable Guy
 * Did you like the book of Luke
 * And do you like fables that are true
 * If you'd like I'll tell you some
 * Cause a true believer's crop is slow
 * When seed gets wasted by the road
 * In a steep and cloudy land will grow
 * Well I know the storms will come again
 * So don't start your mansion in the sand
 * He won't pick off the fruits
 * If that fig tree didn't produce
 * And if a lonely widow won't give up
 * She can make a case and win a wicked judge
 * But the new wine is powerful stuff
 * And it waits for you to try
 * You got to drink it
 * Bye, bye, Mr. Parable Guy
 * Got my blessings Through the lessons Taught by heavens Messiah
 * Them good old days of seeking wisdom divine
 * Sittin' listenin' to the Parable Guy
 * Listenin' to the Parable Guy
 * Now if the shepherds sheep are all at home
 * And one goes out on its own, alone
 * But that not where it needs to be
 * Won't the shepherd search for the missing sheep
 * And of course, the woman does not sleep
 * Until the coin that she came to find is retrieved
 * And while his kid was getting down
 * And spending all his money in town
 * Of course his father yearned
 * "I'm for him to return"
 * And the wedding guests who don't get smart
 * The Lord just catches them off guard
 * And leaves them virgins in the dark
 * The day the groom arrives
 * Bell's were ringing
 * Bye, bye, Mr. Parable Guy
 * Got my blessings Through the lessons Taught by heavens Messiah
 * Them good old days of seeking wisdom divine
 * Sittin' listenin' to the Parable Guy
 * Listenin' to the Parable Guy
 * Selfish wealth t isn't going to help
 * With barns stopped like a fallout shelter
 * Grain piled high with all your cares
 * The wedding has a lot of guests
 * Today it's time for your formal best
 * I suggest you follow guidelines when you dress
 * Well at halftime there was work to do
 * So the farmer payed another crew
 * They all got payed in cash
 * Oh but the jealous ones were mad
 * And as the treasure finder takes the field
 * The merchant says this jewel's a steel
 * They'll lose it all for such a deal
 * And pay the fullest price
 * They got the kingdom
 * Bye, bye, Mr. Parable Guy
 * Got my blessings Through the lessons Taught by heavens Messiah\
 * Them good old days of seeking wisdom divine
 * Sittin' listenin' to the Parable Guy
 * Listenin' to the Parable Guy
 * And then they were all in one place
 * From every nation tongue and race
 * With goats and lambs apart in place
 * So come on drag the fish net Catch the fish
 * Don't splash that on your candlestick
 * Cause a flower with a lemons gonna' spread
 * And as they robbed him on the way
 * The man was left in disarray
 * No neighbors stopped to help
 * He couldn't save himself
 * And as a stranger finally pulled aside
 * And spied the battered Israelite
 * I saw him save him gladly with delight
 * And he made it through the night
 * He was shrieking
 * Bye, bye, Mr. Parable Guy
 * Got my blessings Through the lessons Taught by heavens Messiah
 * Them good old days of seeking wisdom divine
 * Sittin' listenin' to the Parable Guy
 * Listenin' to the Parable Guy
 * Little children sang the blues
 * They blasted forth some happy tunes
 * But things just failed to turn their way
 * "I went out and I made some more"
 * Said the servant who got his reward
 * But the man that made excuses couldn't pay
 * And the wheat was filled with leaves
 * Mustard climbed from the smallest seed
 * All the birds were hopin'
 * The birdhouse now was open
 * The thing that I admire most
 * Were all those funny parables
 * They taught the lessons for the folks
 * Whose faith was rooted in Christ
 * Cause they were seeking
 * Bye, bye, Mr. Parable Guy
 * Got my blessings Through the lessons Taught by heavens Messiah
 * Them good old days of seeking wisdom divine
 * Sittin' listenin' to the Parable Guy
 * Listenin' to the Parable Guy
 * They were seeking
 * Bye, bye, Mr. Parable Guy
 * Got my blessings Through the lessons Taught by heavens Messiah
 * Them good old days of seeking wisdom divine
 * Sittin' listenin' to the Parable Guy
