Bad Case of Leprosy
Parody of "Bad Case of Lovin' You" by Robert Palmer
(2 Kings 5:1-19)

Whoa!
I'm not Israelite - still I confess
I gotta find their waiting list
I need to - smooth my skin
Return my youth back again

Talk to the prophet - listen to me
I got a bad case of leprosy
No baal's gonna cure what ails me
Got a bad case of leprosy

(Hey)
I'm pretty brave - but I'm a bit alarmed
That's no rash comin' down my arms
I lead my troops - they're militant guys
But I've modified Naaman's battle cry

Talk to the prophet - listen to me
I got a bad case of leprosy
No baal's gonna cure what ails me
Got a bad case of leprosy

Whoa!
LEAD

You know Elisha
Elisha knows God
So, tell that prophet
I'll do what he wants

He sent me down into the muddy river
It sounded foolish - I'll admit
To take a dip - did not sound good
But God worked fast - after I did do it

Talked to the prophet - in Second Kings
About a bad case of leprosy
No frills but he cured my ills through God and
Backspaced my leprosy

2 Kings 5:1
Now Naaman was commander of the army of the king of Aram. He was
a great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded, because
through him the Lord had given victory to Aram. He was a valiant
soldier, but he had leprosy.
