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
