This is a reference to an interesting song that we sang for a friend’s wedding. The link to the original blog post is below. Enjoy.
Bone Of My Bone, Flesh Of My Flesh
(Based on Genesis 2:23)
Chords: I-VI-IV-V
[Verse 1]:
Walking down the Garden one day
God said to Man
You need some help my friend
Let me give you a hand
So He made man sleep
And performed surgery
And when man awoke
He gasped!… and then he spoke
(He said)
[Chorus]:
Bone of my bone
Flesh of my flesh
You shall be called, ‘Wo-oh-man’
You’ll be, bone of my bone
Aa-and flesh of my flesh
You shall be called…
‘Woh-oh-oh-oh-man!’
[Verse 2]:
One-of-the many blessings of God
One-of-His curses too
They will make you happy or sad
It’s up to you
If you feed her well
And you treat her nice
There’ll be har-mo-ny
In this fa-mi-ly
(Then she’ll be)… [Chorus]
[Verse 3]:
Condominium, credit card
Cold ha-ard cash
Big automatic car
Or a Mercedes Benz
If you give her these
She will give you peace
Then you’ll have a say
For just one more day
[Chorus]

This song was written during a very interesting semester at a Bible school that I was attending for a while. I wrote it along with a good friend who is getting married in September this year (2002). I’m sure he’ll tell his wife that this is just an example of the folly of youth. I added the first verse later, as I thought it would be nice to set up the background for the song. It just goes to show that Christians (or at least, some of us) can have a (warped) sense of humour sometimes!
