Zebulun (It's Not a Musical)
Parody of "It's Not Unusual" performed by Tom Jones and written by Les Reed & Gordon Mills
(Genesis 30:20, 35:23-26; Exodus 1:1-5)

There's not a musical that we love 'bout Zebulun
There's not a musical that's been done 'bout Zebulun
And we're not singing standards about poor Zebulun
His brother Joseph was the leading guy
He wasn't shy

The sons of Israel, there's no doubt, had many tribes
The 10th of these was Zebulun — now he's thrust aside
If you should have a brother who's loved by Daddy more
It's not unreasonable to have some envy, babe
'Cause that is tough to take
You're not the apple of his eye
Brother 11's cute — whatcha gonna do?
Why can't this Brady Bunch be nice?

There’s not a musical to be had for Zebulun
His name's unusual - I feel sad for Zebulun
But if I get some rhymes, that could change at any time
He's not unusable — we'll find that guy some rave reviews
Whoa-oh whoa, ho, ho, ho, ho-oh
Whoa-oh whoa, oh ho-oh
Whoa-oh whoa, ho, ho-huh-ho whoa-oh
Whoa-oh whoa-oh, whoa-oh whoa, ho ho-oh

Genesis 30:20
Then Leah said, “God has presented me with a precious gift. This time my husband will treat me with honor, because I have borne him six sons.” So she named him Zebulun.
