Why You Are Here
(to the tune of “YMCA”)


Moses, it is me in the bush. I said
Moses, well, you just need a push. I said
Moses, just a whack on the tush,
And you’ll make your people happy.


Moses, you’ve been lucky from birth. I said
Moses, you were put on this earth. I said
Moses, you can show what you’re worth,
You can make your people happy.


(Chorus)
I want to tell you now
Why You Are Here.
I want to tell you now
Why You Are Here.
He’s done everything just to ruin their joy.
He has taken their first born boys.


I want to tell you now
Why You Are Here.
I want to tell you now
Why You Are Here.
Moses, don’t be a schmo.
When the Pharaoh says no, tell him
Let all my people go.


Moses, all your people are slaves, I said
Moses, and they have to be saved, I said
Moses, you will have to be brave.
You can make your people happy.


Moses, soon your people will be. I said
Moses, they’ll be happy and free. I said
Moses, they will cross the Red Sea.
You can make your people happy.


(Repeat Chorus)
