Apologetix Lawful Woman In A Bad Place
Parody of "Long Cool Woman (in a Black Dress)" by The Hollies
(Joshua 2)
Sat out the night in a bad town
Workin' on some espionage
Sent in there to test a battle plan
Risky, but we tried to lodge
Two of us pulled in, saw a red light
For the people who were doing wrong
I guess she was harlot but even then
She had heard about-a Israel’s God
We were foreign spies but she helped us to hide
We said that we’d spare her her life
She was an awful woman in a bad place
In a town that was due for a fall
With just one move she proved she had faith
Was a lawful woman after all
We saw her heart was true and faithful
When the town knocked she hid that fact
The town they said "Those fellows from Israel
Can you tell us do you know where there at?"
"There not in here," she said, "Go find them!"
And everybody started to run
A-jumpin' on their horse and camels
In a hurry so real soon they were gone
We could see they were gone so we left then
We could see that we owed her our lives
Well, we told her, "Don’t get scared, 'cause you’re gonna be spared"
But we gotta see a red ribbon if ya wanna still be livin’
When the wall falls, woman in a bad place
In a town that was due for a fall
With just one move you proved you had faith
You’re a lawful woman after all
After all! After all! Mmmmm ... After all!
