The Theologian Song

I just came into town to learn about theology

I'm gonna hit those books real hard and study faithfully

And get as many volumes as will fit upon my shelf

While I give to the college all my wealth

And I'm gonna be a theologian

Just ask me any question and I'll tell you what to do

I'm gonna have the answers to the questions people have

And tell everybody what's true

I'll know how many lions were in good old Daniel's den

And what the minimum wage was for Jewish fishermen

I'll exegete and homilete and hermeneut so neat

So I can answer questions like, How much did Luke pay for malpractice insurance?

And I'm gonna be a theologian...

I'll get those fancy letters at the end of my name

And write a book or two just to add to my fame

And teach at the greatest institution in the land

Cause by then I'll really understand

And I'll make you a theologian

So they can ask you any question and you'll tell them what to do

You're gonna have the answers to the questions people have

And tell everybody what's true

Cause I'm gonna be a theologian...

Just ask me any question and I'll tell you what to do

I'm gonna have the answers to the questions people have

And I'll tell YOU what is true
