I Just Can’t Go to the King
to the tune of “I Just Can’t Wait To Be King”

(Moses)
I’m gonna see a mighty king.
I’m feeling mighty scared.

(Aaron)
Well, Moses, I’ll be there with you
So you’ll be well prepared.

(Moses)
I’ve never been too good with words.
I stutter and I squeak.
My hands are wet, my throat is dry
Each time I try to speak.

(Aaron)
Well, Moses, don’t be scared about a thing.

(Moses)
Oh, I just can’t go to the king!

I’ll be saying, “Do this.”
I’ll be saying, “See them.”
I’ll be saying, “Stop that.”
I’ll be saying, “Free them."
Free them all to leave today.
Free them all to live God’s way.”

(Aaron)
The Pharaoh needs to know he needs to
Have a change of heart.
Or God will make his cows get sick
And make the Red Sea part.

(Both)
The two of us will go tell Pharaoh,
“Let my people go.”
We know exactly what we’ll do
if Pharaoh tells us no.
We’ll warn him of the plagues that God will bring.
Oh, we’re both gonna go to the king!

We’ll be saying, “Do this.”
We’ll be saying, “See them.”
We’ll be saying, “Stop that.”
We’ll be saying, “Free them.”
“Have respect for every living thing.
Pharaoh, don’t be such a dingaling.”

Now this will be our final time to sing:
Oh, we’re both gonna go to the king!
