Is That Religion? (12-23-30) |
Brethren, sistren |
I’ve got shoes (You've got shoes) |
All of our children got shoes |
Brethren (Yeah!), sistren (Yeah!) |
Oh, hear my preachin', hear my preachin', do |
Brethren (Yeah!), sistren (Yeah!) |
The good books teachin' ain’t been reachin' you |
Sister, you strut the aisles |
All dressed to kill with style |
You wink your eye and smile |
Is that religion? |
One thing I do despise |
You catch my deacon’s eyes |
That’s where the weakness lies |
Is that religion? |
(Tell us all about it!) |
You see your parsons vexed |
Doggone it, you got him so preplexed |
Now you know doggone well my mind ain’t on my text |
Now tell me, is that religion? |
You know there’s gonna be some cheatin' did |
You all done took me off my lid |
Tryin' to get your partners to skid |
Now you know doggone well that ain’t religion! |
