No bread and no water
And we loath this light bread
We should've stayed in Egypt

They were so unthankful
Though God had parted the Red Sea
He sent the fiery serpents
To bring them to their knees

And raised it for all to see it

All who got bit
Would look upon the pole
They would not die
God had mercy on their souls
