(Verse 1)
Way back yonder, in a dusty land
Folks got together, had a mighty plan
"Let's build a tower," they said with glee,
"Tall as the sky, for all to see!"

(Chorus)
Lost in the lingo, words all jumbled,
Couldn't understand, it was humbled.
"Howdy" turned to "ohlah!" What a fumble!
Lost in the lingo, what a rumble!

(Verse 2)
Bricks they stacked, with a mighty whoop,
Reachin' high, like a giant POOP!
Thought they were awesome, kings of the land,
Forgot 'bout God, and His awesome plan.

(Verse 3)
God's got patience, more than a mule,
Waited for them, to change their fuel.
Hoped they'd turn 'round, not be so bold,
But they kept on buildin', outta control!

(Chorus)
Lost in the lingo, words all jumbled,
Couldn't understand, it was humbled.
"Howdy" turned to "Bonjour!"
What a fumble!
Lost in the lingo, what a rumble!

(Verse 4)
God, with His kindness, patient and true,
Saw their pride growin', knew what to do.
He mixed up their words, with a gentle hand,
Showed 'em that love, makes a better plan.

(Verse 5)
A fella asked his buddy, "Bro, Pass the cocoa!"
but his friend said, "Hombre esta low co"
"We'll be like God!" said them,
But it came out like, "Je t'aime!"

(Chorus)
Lost in the lingo, words all jumbled,
Couldn't understand, it was humbled.
"Howdy" turned to "koh-nee-chee-wah" What a fumble!
Lost in the lingo, what a rumble!

(Outro)
So before ya get to buildin', any tower so tall,
Stop and say a prayer, heed the gentle call.
Wait and listen, let God lead the way,
He'll help you build strong, every single day.
