"Kumbaya" is a traditional folk song featured in the Season One episode "Volcano", the Season Three episode "Jewbilee", and the Season Eight episode "Something Wall-Mart This Way Comes".

Background[]

In "Volcano", while on a hunting trip with the boys and Jimbo Kern, Ned Gerblansky sings this song at the campfire.

In "Jewbilee", the Jew Scouts can be heard briefly singing this song around a campfire and in front of Moses.

In "Something Wall-Mart This Way Comes", the townsfolk get together to sing this song after the Wall-Mart was burnt down.

Lyrics[]

Kum bay ya, my Lord, kum bay ya;
Kum bay ya, my Lord, kum bay ya;
Kum bay ya, my Lord, kum bay ya,
O Lord, kum bay ya.

Someone's laughing, my Lord, kum bay ya;
Someone's laughing, my Lord, kum bay ya;
Someone's laughing, my Lord, kum bay ya,
O Lord, kum bay ya.

Someone's crying, my Lord, kum bay ya;
Someone's crying, my Lord, kum bay ya;
Someone's crying, my Lord, kum bay ya,
O Lord, kum bay ya.

Someone's praying, Lord, kum bay ya;
Someone's praying, Lord, kum bay ya;
Someone's praying, Lord, kum bay ya,
O Lord, kum bay ya.

Someone's singing, my Lord, kum bay ya;
Someone's singing, my Lord, kum bay ya;
Someone's singing, my Lord, kum bay ya,
O Lord, kum bay ya.
