Balaam was a prophet
who knew every trick in the book
But when it came to justice and virtue
he was no better than a crook
A mercenary, a hired gun
a man of insatiable greed
Tried to curse the Jews to feed his need
But the words that came out were blessings
All along G-d knew Balaam’s plan
blunted his evil intentions
