Parody of "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" by Trace Adkins
(Prov. 16:18; 1 Cor. 10:12; James 3:2, 4:6; Phil. 2:3; 2 Cor. 12:9-10; 1 Peter 5:5-6; 1 Timothy 3:6, 1 John 2:16, Luke 18:9-14)
Butter him up some
All right, boys, this is his favorite sin, you know that's pride
So if we make him good and proud, he might give us a chance again
Oh, he let his guard down -- Here he comes, here he comes
Yep, yep, they get pride and slip
Humpty Dumpty's great fall -- you know it starts at the wall
He was up there 10 feet tall -- didn't want the Lord's help at all
Though they trust in the Lord when they're climbing up the stairs
Sure n'uff pride it makes 'em fall and stumble once they're there
At that Humpty Dumpty Country Club
Keepin' perfect without any help from anyone
Now you're growing strong like old King Kong
But ooh he sure fell down, smacked the sidewalk
Yeah, pride precedes a fall like Goliath long ago
Lord have mercy how do people get to be such snobs
At that Humpty Dumpty Country Club
Now humble meek behavior is what your Father favors
Petty pride-filled strangers are worse than the moneychangers
Glance at chapter 2 of Philippians verse 3
He hates a big ego but loves true modesty
Not that Humpty Dumpty Country Club
Now read in Proverbs 16:18 while I sing this song
God opposes all the cocky dogs
And ooh wee -- bow wow wow -- cats can scare them off
Yeah, pride precedes a fall like the Pharaoh long ago
The Lord has mercy on the weak but just resists the strong
At that Humpty Dumpty Country Club
He don't care about your strength and your religious discipline
How handsome, smart, or brave you are -- you get those gifts from Him
Pride makes everybody crazy -- you think you're feelin' tough
Take the devil as your lesson -- if it looks like you're hot stuff
At that Humpty Dumpty Country Club
Now peek in First Corinthians verse 10:12 and read along
Now you're showing off and walkin' tall
But ooh wee shut your mouth and wipe that grin off
Yeah, pride proceeds a fall, like that cherub long ago
Lord have mercy how'd they all forget your risen Son
At that Humpty Dumpty Country Club
That's it right there boys
That's why we do what we do
They aim for the money
They aim for the glory
They aim for the pretty women
They want in the country club
Proverbs 16:18
Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.
