Lyrics

[Intro]
Hey!
[Verse 1]
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 de Ville
[Chorus]
So jump in the river and learn to swim
God's gonna wash away all your sins
And if you still can't see the light
God's gonna buy you a satellite
[Verse 2]
Look to the heavens and see it shine
Heals the sick and leads the blind
Tune it in and hear it say
Hear it say, hear it say
It's countin' down to Judgement Day
[Chorus]
So jump in the river and learn to swim
God's gonna wash away all your sins
And if you still can't see the light
God's gonna buy you a satellite
Hey!
[Verse 3]
Hey, satellite man, your time has come
Your word, received by everyone
And should you fall, well, that's okay
You love the ones that you betray
[Chorus]
So jump in the river and learn to swim
God's gonna wash away all your sins
And when, at last, you see the light
God's gonna buy you a satellite
[Chorus]
So jump in the river and learn to swim
God's gonna wash away all your sins
And when, at last, you see the light
God's gonna buy you a satellite
Yeah, when, at last, you see the light
God's gonna buy you a satellite
[Outro]
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, God's gonna buy you a satellite
Look to the heavens and see it shine
