Play It, Honey

Sonia Manzano is the sultry voice of Wisdom here
(María from 1971 to 2015 on Sesame Street !)

Turn back, O man — forswear thy foolish ways
Old now is earth, and none may count her days
  ♩♬ da, da, da, da, da ♪
Yet thou, her child, whose head is crowned with flame
Still wilt not hear thine inner God proclaim:

Turn back, O man (is your seat comfortable sir?)
Turn back, O man (mmmmm, I like that)
Turn back, O man (can you take it?)
Forswear thy foolish ways
(See ya later I’m going to the front of the thee-ay-ter)

Earth might be fair, and all men glad and wise
Age after age their tragic empires rise
   ♩♬ da, da, da, da, da ♪
Built while they dream, and in that dreaming weep
Would man but wake from out his haunted sleep . . .

Turn back, O man. . . (mmm I’ll say it again)
Turn back, O man. . . (can ya see from where you’re sittin’?)
Turn back, O man. . . (hiya big boy)
Forswear thy foolish ways

Earth shall be fair; and all her people one
Not till that hour shall God’s whole will be done.
Now, even now, once more from earth to sky
Peals forth in joy man’s old undaunted cry
Earth shall be fair, and all her people one

C’mere Jesus, I got something to show ya!

(chorus repeat first verse)

Forswear thy foolish ways!

 

Joanne Jonas gets pretty slinky in the 1973 film version
La inglesa is good, but still not as good as Sonia!
(Original London Cast recording 1971)
Better than above but STILL not SONIA !
(Off-Broadway Cast recording 2000)

Science-Based !

Buddha is nothing. Muhammad is no one. Freaky six-armed Hindu monstrosities are a lie. Cults and sects can’t save you. Marianism is idolatry. Darwinism is an untenable theory for God-haters. Atheism is a false hope. Mosaic law will not justify you. Judaism can’t name their Messiah. New Age superstition is a dead end. Drugs will scramble your mind. Being a good and decent human being while refusing to acknowledge your sin will send your soul to hell. Global unity and multicultural harmony is a propaganda ploy and a pipe-dream. Marxism is a murderous totalitarian deception. Religion is a man-made labyrinth and justification of hierarchical power and control. Paganism is a nice thought but it is not absolute truth. Witchcraft is an abomination. GLBTQRSTUVWX etc. activism is for neurotics, psychotics, and misfits. Nazism is antichrist. Nihilism is a hard sell to friends and family. Republicanism is for plutocrats and country-clubbing check-signers. Liberal-Progressive politics will not cut it with Almighty God, your judge and mine as well. Salvation is found in JESUS CHRIST and in Him ALONE. Repent and believe the Glorious Gospel. Jesus is the ONLY WAY to heaven. Deal with it.
