Because of he Gospel reading today and since it has been a while since I have done a song parody – here is one based on the classic Guess Who song.
Samaritan woman give me a drink
Samaritan woman, she gonna give me a drink
Samaritan woman give me a drink
Samaritan woman give me a drink
Say S,
Say A,
Say M,
Say A,
Say R,

Say T,

Samaritan woman give me a drink
Samaritan woman give me a drink
Samaritan woman give me a drink
Samaritan woman, you want living water
Samaritan woman, this you would prefer
Please come hangin’ around the well
and give me a drink that would be swell
If you drink this water you will thirst again
I got living water swelling up in my reign
Now woman, I said come and pray,
Samaritan woman, listen what I say.
Samaritan woman, call your husband here
Samaritan woman, your right no hubby there
Yeah your perceivin’ I’m a prophet
I tell you I
who speak to you am he
So the woman left the water jar
and said "Can this be Christ" and walked afar
Prophetic insights can hypnotize
especially in an incarnational guise
Now woman, I said get some water
Samaritan woman, listen what I say.
Samaritan woman, said get me water
Samaritan woman, listen what I say
Don’t come hangin’ around the well
Time for you to preach the Gospel
I don’t need your jar routines
You worship what you have not seen
Prophetic insights can hypnotize
especially in an incarnational guise
Now woman, get water for me
Samaritan woman, my mama is Mary
Go, gotta get away, gotta get away
To Gal Gal Galilee
Gonna leave you, woman
Gonna leave you, woman
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
My food is to do the will of him
I’m so good for you
Gonna look you right in the eye.
Tell you what I’m gonna do
You know I’m gonna assend
You know I’m gonna go
You know I’m gonna assend
You know I’m gonna go, woman
I’m gonna leave, woman
Goodbye, Samaritan woman
Now in reality I really wish that Nick Alexander would do a parody along these lines and he could come up with much better lyrics.

the real question is, have you seen this?

Is there a reason you used the term Samarian rather than Samaritan? Loved the parody.
Alicia,
On second thought Samaritan would be better, so I updated it.
I admit, it always bothers me that the Samaritan woman never does get around to giving Jesus a drink. Not that He really needed one, but He did ask her. You’d think she would have given Him some water at some point during their conversation…just in case.
Jeff,
I’ll try to figure something out. I personally wouldn’t use “American Woman”, but perhaps I’d use a song where there is more her perspective on things, or at least a conversation. I got a hankering for Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me” may work, because it has a lot of he-said/she-said variety, but if the central rhymes don’t gel, there’s probably a better song out there for that.
Nice try, tho.
Nick
