Yesterday upon the stair
God met a Dawkins who wasn’t there.
Dawkins wasn’t there again today,
How God does wish he’d go away.
When God came home last night at three
The Dawkins man waited there for He,
But when God looked around the hall
He couldn’t see Dawkins there at all!
Go away, go away, don’t you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don’t slam the door.
Last night God saw upon the stair
A Dawkins man who wasn’t there.
Dawkins wasn’t there again today,
How God does wish he’d go away.
