Don't Stop Till Egypt
Parody of "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey
(Matthew 2:1-18)

Just a small town girl – living in a Roman world
She took a late-night trip out of Bethlehem
Just a bitty boy – born to make the world rejoice
He took a late-night trip out of Bethlehem

The king is in an OK mood – until the wise men leak the news
For a while they can spare their lives
If they run, and run, and run, and run

Angels racin', comin' down to pull them out
There’s bad folks searchin' in the night
Flee, wise people
Heaven sends a warning, Joseph
Hide Him somewhere near the Nile

Well, King Herod, he ain't quite thrilled
"Every baby must be killed!"
He'll do anything – he's cold as ice – what's one more crime?
Run from Him – One with you's
The Son of God, the King of the Jews
For His kingdom never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Angels racin', comin' down to pull them out
There's bad folks searchin' in the night
Flee, wise people
Heaven sends a warning, Joseph
Hide Him somewhere near the Nile

Don't stop till Egypt – go down to the pyramids
Flee, wise people, oh oh oh
Don't stop till Egypt – go down, yeah
Flee, wise people, oh oh oh

Matthew 2:13
When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. "Get up," he said, "take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him."
