He took a 100 pounds of clay
And then He said, hey, listen
I'm gonna fix this-a-world* today
Because I know what's missing.
Then ($) He rolled His big sleeves up
And a brand-new world began
He created a woman and-a-lots* of loving for a man
Whoa-oh-oh, yes He did.
With just a 100 pounds of clay (fine)
He made my life worth living
And I will thank Him every day
for every kiss you're giving.
And I'll thank Him every night
for the arms that are holding me tight
And He did it all with just a 100 pounds of clay
Yes He did, whoa-oh, yes He did.
Now can'tcha* just see Him a-walking** round and round,
picking the clay uppa* off the ground,
doing just what He should do
to make a living dream like you?
dal $egno al fine
(Coda:)
People, let me tall ya* what He did
with just a 100 pounds of clay...
*Ebonics für "this world", "and lots", "can't you", "up off" und "you".
**Das ist kein Ebonics, sondern eine alte germanische Nebenform, wie wir sie auch noch im Kölschen "[Er ist] am Gehen" antreffen.
