God looked down
On a certain town
He saw the people being bad
It made him feel sad
He said to Jonah go and tell them
They got to change they ways
But Jonah caught a boat
Going the other way
Then the sea got rough
Cause the winds blew up
And the boat started spinning
And began to break up
All the sailors said
Why (why)
Is this happening to us
See, Jonah knew the answer
And his reply was
Toss me in the water
Throw me overboard
Toss me in the water
Or the boat go down
Toss me in the water
Throw me overboard
Make the boat stop
Spinning round and round
Toss me in the water
Throw me overboard
Toss me in the water
Or the boat go down
Toss me in the water
Throw me overboard
Make the boat stop
Spinning round and round
So they lifted him up
And threw him over the side
And the storm died down
Making an easier ride
Then the big fish come
And swallowed Jonah down
Then for three long days
It carried him around
And Jonah said Sorry
Lord I'll do what you say
Please get me out of here
And I'll be on my way
So the fish coughed him up
Onto the beach
Jonah walked into town
And he began to preach
Toss me in the water
Throw me overboard
Toss me in the water
Or the boat go down
Toss me in the water
Throw me overboard
Make the boat stop
Spinning round and round
(Spinning round and round)
(Or the boat go down)
(Toss me in the water)
Make the boat stop
Spinning round and round
And many, many people
Were saved that day
From the wrath of God
Because they changed they ways
So when God says to do something
It helps to obey
Then you'll never have to say
Like Jonah did that day
Toss me in the water
Throw me overboard
Toss me in the water
Or the boat go down
Toss me in the water
Throw me overboard
Make the boat stop
Spinning round and round
Toss me in the water
Toss me in the water
Hey
Toss me in the water
Yeah
Make the boat stop
Spinning round and round
Toss me in the water
Throw me overboard
Toss me in the water
Or the boat go down
Toss me in the water (toss me)
Throw me overboard (in the water)
Make the boat stop
Spinning round and round
(Toss me in the water)
Toss me in the water
(Toss me in the water)
Toss me in the water
Toss me in the water (toss me)
Throw me overboard (in the water)
Toss me in the water
Or the boat go down
Toss me in the water (toss me)
Throw me overboard (in the water)
Make the boat stop
Make the boat stop
(Toss me in the water)
Toss me in the water
Toss me in the water
(Toss me in the water)
Make the boat stop
Spinning round and round
