lyrics version 1
Okay
Okay, count it off Kenny Bam Boom
One two three four [Spoken]
You gotta feed the poor
You must obey
When Jesus asks you if you fed the poor
What are you gonna say
You gotta feed the poor
Okay, count it off Kenny Bam Boom
One two three four [Spoken]
You gotta feed the poor
You must obey
When Jesus asks you if you fed the poor
What are you gonna say
You gotta feed the poor
lyrics version 2
You gotta feed the poor
You must obey
If Jesus asks you if you fed the poor
What are you gonna say
You gotta feed the poor
They're dying every day
And if Jesus asks you why you didn't
What are you gonna say
There's a little child
Lying on the ground
Too weak to lift his head up
Too sick to make a sound
You gotta feed the poor
You must obey
But when Jesus asks you if you fed the poor
What are you gonna say
There's a little baby girl
With her eyes shut tight
Her body burns with fever
And there'll be no food tonight
You gotta feed the poor
You must obey
But when Jesus asks you if you fed the poor
What are you gonna say
You must obey
If Jesus asks you if you fed the poor
What are you gonna say
You gotta feed the poor
They're dying every day
And if Jesus asks you why you didn't
What are you gonna say
There's a little child
Lying on the ground
Too weak to lift his head up
Too sick to make a sound
You gotta feed the poor
You must obey
But when Jesus asks you if you fed the poor
What are you gonna say
There's a little baby girl
With her eyes shut tight
Her body burns with fever
And there'll be no food tonight
You gotta feed the poor
You must obey
But when Jesus asks you if you fed the poor
What are you gonna say

Okay
Okay, count it off Kenny Bam Boom
One two three four [Spoken]
You gotta feed the poor
You must obey
When Jesus asks you if you fed the poor
What are you gonna say
You gotta feed the poor
They're dying every day
When Jesus asks you why you didn't
Well what are you gonna say
There's a little boy
Lying on the ground
Sick to lift his head up
Too weak to make a sound
Ah you gotta feed the poor
You must obey
'Cause when Jesus asks you if you fed the poor
What are you gonna say
Alright, take a break [Spoken]
Wa-ow
Yeah feed the poor
They're dying every day
And when Jesus asks you if you fed the poor
Well what are you gonna say
You gotta feed the poor
You must obey
'Cause when Jesus asks you why you didn't
Well what are you gonna say
Two three
There's a little baby girl
With her eyes shut tight
Her body burns with fever
And there'll be no food tonight
You gotta feed the poor
You must obey
Jesus asks you if you fed the poor
Then what are you gonna say
Yeah
They're cutting down the rainforest so they can feed the cows
Fast food corporations, they got no time for ploughs
The wet lands and the swamp lands are being drained away
The animals and bird life, they have no place to stay
You gotta feed the poor [Coughs]
Gotta feed the poor [Coughs]
The insidious conglomerates deny that they're involved
Offshore phoney shell fronts, they make it hard to solve
A-with a thousand miles of paper trails went round, round and round
Or you can subpoena affidavits, another million trees come down
Feed the poor
Why don't you obey
'Cause when Jesus asks you why you didn't
Well what are you gonna say
You gotta feed the poor
They're dying every day, yeah
Well when Jesus asks you if you fed the poor
What are you gonna say
Yeah [x10]
When Jesus asks you why you didn't listen to him
What are you gonna say
You call yourselves a christian
Is that really what you are
Gotta feed the poor
You gotta feed the poor
Okay, count it off Kenny Bam Boom
