Relocated Settlers Of Goshen

(Genesis 46:8-34)
parody of Dedicated Follower Of Fashion written by Ray Davies and performed by the Kinks

Sixty-six there, came with Israel
His sons abound, as do their heirs
Ishvi, Hanoch, Huppim, Shaul, Hezron and all the rest
They are the relocated settlers of Goshen


Jacob went from Beersheba down
South to the streets of Egypt’s towns
Heber, Levi, Shuni, Asher, Jahleel, Gad and Ben
And they’re the relocated settlers of Goshen

Oh what a list (Oh what a list)
Oh what a list (Oh what a list)
Jahziel, Imnah, Puah, Reuben, Kohath
Jamin, Hamul, Merari, Naaman, Zohar and Dinah
These are the relocated settlers of Goshen

Oh what a list (Oh what a list)
Oh what a list (Oh what a list)
Sered, Shillem, Serah, Jakin, Arodi
Muppim, Hushim, Bela, Dan, Jezer, Judah, Ehi
Yes, they’re the relocated settlers of Goshen

They settle here, they shepherd there
Simeon, Shelah, Jemuel
Elon, Zerah, Gera, Beker, Guni and Zephon
Each one a relocated settler of Goshen

Oh what a list (Oh what a list)
Oh what a list (Oh what a list)
Ezbon, Ishvah, Ard, Zebulun and Perez
With Pallu, Shimron, Eri, Beriah, Areli, Ashbel
Yes, they’re the relocated settlers of Goshen

Oh what a list (Oh what a list)
Oh what a list (Oh what a list)
Haggi, Gershon, Tola, Jashub and Naphtali
Issachar, Ohad, Rosh, Hezron, Malkiel and Carmi
Yes, they’re the relocated settlers of Goshen
They’re the relocated settlers of Goshen
They’re the relocated settlers of Goshen
