Eight Ways to Be

Parody of "8 Days A Week" by The Beatles

You might need to know babe, Chapter 5 Matthew
Helps you see my Lord's eight blest Beatitudes
Holy, happy, holy, happy
There's eight God wants ya to know, babe, eight ways to be
Blessed are the humble, blest are those who mourn
Blessed are the gentle of meek and lowly form
They'll be happy, you'll be happy
There's eight God wants ya to know, babe, eight ways to be
Eight ways to be in Matthew
Eight ways to be in Matthew 5:2 go right there
Blessed are the thirsty for righteousness and truth
Blest are those with mercy -- they'll get Christ's mercy too
Ohhh, they'll be happy, you'll be happy
There's eight God wants us to know, babe, eight ways to be
Eight ways to be in Matthew
Eight ways to be -- that's why they're called Beatitudes
Blest are the pure of heart and those who peace to make
Blest are those who suffer for righteousness' sake
Holy, happy, holy, happy
And eight is plenty enough, babe
Eight ways to be, eight ways to be, eight ways to be
