Israel in Shittim, some people left them
They slept with harlots it was kind of a big deal
They got all joined-up and siamesed
With a god they had that isn't even real
“Yahweh, protect us! Downright infectious!â€
Soon all Israel be dead(ing)
You're getting Moses to get the judges
They've got to keep that plague from spreading
Oh let's go javelin', Ow! Zimri! Cozbi!
This guy named Zimri, presented Cozbi
(the daughter of the bad guy's president)
Out in the open, in front of Moses
Phinehas chased them both back into their tent
This guy Phinehas was Aaron's grandson
He turned God's wrath and saved a whole lot from destruction
And then there's Cozbi seducing Zimri
Phinehas ran them through with one trust of his javelin
