Nineveh

(a rewrite of Amy Winehouse's Rehab)

He tried to make me go to Nineveh but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been there but now I don't care, I won't go go go
I ain't got the time and they sure aint worth a dime
He's tried to make me go to Nineveh but I won't go go go

I'd rather be at home in the rays
Cause I just ain't got 3 days
Cause there's nothing
There's nothing you can teach them
Perhaps they should just go to their graves

I didn't get a lot in class
But I know that they should come in last

He tried to make me go to Nineveh but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been there but now I don't care, I won't go go go
I ain't got the time and they sure aint worth a dime
He's tried to make me go to Nineveh but I won't go go go

God said 'why do you think you're here'
I said 'I got no idea
I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my mind
Your compassion its what I fear'
God said 'I just think you're depressed,
You're tired Jonah, now go rest'

They tried to make me go to Nineveh but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been there but now I don't care, I won't go go go

God said since you don't do what I wish
why don't you go spend some time in a fish
I'm not gonna tell you one more time
go sit under that big ol' vine

It might just be my pride
Now you've done it, my vine has died

He wants ME go to Nineveh I guess I'll 'go, go, go'
Guess I do care, cuz I'm goin there, I'll go go go
Yes I've got the time, and Jehova thinks they're fine
He's tried to make me go to Nineveh and I'll go go go
