No, it cannot be
Your messages are meant for me
and my brothers
we are Your chosen people
and Nineveh
they're not!
There must be some mistake
a big misunderstanding
it's really hard to take
how could You be so demanding?
For years I've been Your messenger
from Moresheth to Gath
but Nineveh should get no chance to turn
they've earned Your wrath
No, it cannot be
Your messages are meant for me
and my brothers
we are Your chosen people
and Nineveh
they're not!
We're the good guys
and they're the bad guys!
Please don't send me there
with a message of Your mercy!
Damascus or Jerusalem,
I'll be there in a minute
Any town in Israel
just ask me
I'll be in it!
Shiloh, Gilgal, Jericho
just say the word
But Nineveh?
That is just absurd.
Joppa, Afek, Jezreel,
they're all just fine
But Nineveh?
Oh, Nineveh
Nineveh is where I draw the line!
No, it cannot be
Your messages are meant for me.
