DON'T BE A DEAD FISH

Composed by Jonas

(G)One day while (C)Jesus was walking a(G)long,
He saw three fishermen, (C)Peter James and (G)John,
(G)He said to them, "leave your nets and follow me,
And a fishermen of (C)men you will be"

Chorus:
Oh well, (G)don't be a (C)dead (G)fish,
Oh no, won't you wiggle just a (C)little bit,
(G)Don't be a (C)dead (G)fish,
Oh no won't you wiggle just a (C)little bit,
(G)Get up and wiggle your tail (C)just like (G)this,
Oh won't you wiggle just a (C)little bit,
And (G)don't you sit there in a (C)self-satisfied (G)bliss,
(G)Get up and wiggle just a (C)little (G)bit

Now Simon (G)Peter was a man as (C)proud as he stood,
(G)He said "the fishing here, Lord (C)ain't very (G)good,"
Then Jesus said, "just drop your (C)nets into the sea"
(G)And the nets began to break with the fish and the (C)boats began to sink

Well, when (G)Peter saw his first (C)miracle that (G)day,
He fell at Jesus' feet and he be(C)gan to (G)pray, he said,
"Oh Lord, you know I'm a (C)sinful (G)man", but Jesus said,
"Just follow me and be a (C)fisher of men"

Simon (G)Peter finally did follow (C)Jesus all the (G)way,
Set three thousand souls free on (C)Pentecost (G)day,
Out of the frying pan (C)into the (G)fire,
They became pure fish of gold shining (C)brighter and brighter

(G)Sometimes that fryin' pan gets (C)pretty (G)hot,
But we've learned just to praise the Lord whether we (C)like it or (G)not,
All who live godly shall suffer perse(G)cution,
But gladly that's a price we pay, in the (C)Jesus Revolution

[Repeat Chorus Twice]
