Now hush, little baby, don't cry like that,
God's gonna buy you a Cadillac,
He's chosen you to do his will,
You can spread the word in your Coupe Deville.

So go to the river and learn to swim,
God's gonna wash away all your sin,
And if you still can't see the light, God's gonna buy you a satellite.

Well, look to the heavens and see him shine,
Heals the sick and he leads the blind,
Looking up, I hear him say, 'It's counting down to judgment day.'

So, jump in the river and learn to swim,
God's gonna wash away all your sin,
And if you still can't see the light, God's gonna buy you a satellite.

Now, satellite man, your time has come,
Your word received by everyone,
And should you fall, well, that's okay,
'Cause you love the ones that you betray.

So go to the river and learn to swim,
God's gonna wash away all your sin,
And if you still can't see the light, God's gonna buy you a satellite,
So, jump in the river and learn to swim,
God's gonna wash away all your sin,
And if you still can't see the light, God's gonna buy you a satellite.
