Is this a real source?
Is this just fantasy?
Scholarly landslide
An escape from reality
Open the Gospels
Find parallels and see
Because it’s Markan priority
Then Matt and Luke agree
Anyway the wind blows, Q stuff really matters to me, to me
Farrar debunked the trend
Laid out evidence and said
The Q theory should be shed
Goulder made Q-debunking fun
Now Goodacre has shown us all the way
Kloppenborg oooooh didn’t mean to make you cry
If the Synoptic problem’s solved this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on
As if Q still really matters
Too late, Q’s time has come
Luke was reading Matthew’s lines
He rewrote them all just fine
Goodbye everybody – Q’s got to go
Gotta leave Q far behind and face the truth
Tuckett, ooooh
Q won’t want to die
I sometimes wish they’d not posited it at all
I see a little silhouetto of a source
Burton Mack, Marcus Borg, must you publish editions?
Layered Q redactions – have so little traction, see?
B. H. Streeter, Robert Stein,
F. G. Downing, Frans Neirynck,
James M. Robinson also – They all say so
I’m just a scholar, nobody loves me
He’s just a scholar, at a university
Spare him these too complex hypotheses
Sources come sources go – will you let Q go?
Let Q go! No – we will not let Q go – let it go
Let Q go! We will not let Q go – let it go
Let Q go! We will not let Q go – let it go
Will not let Q go – let it go
Never let Q go – let it go
Never let Q go – ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no –
Oh Mark Goodacre, Mark Goodacre, Mark Goodacre let Q go
Johann Griesbach has some choice words set aside for thee
for thee
for thee
If you posit redaction and set Q aside
Say Luke took Matthew’s sermons and then pulverized
Your case cements with minor agreements
You’re gonna get Q, just wanna get Q outta here
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Q still really matters
Anyone can see
Q still really matters – Q still really matters to me
The scholarly winds blow…
