He has the sole preemptive right
To say what should be taught outright
But we prefer our rules in spite
Grab a candle make it alight
And do your rosaries tonight
Then pray Hail Mary's make it right
And speak in tongues until you're right
Don't drink a beer with me tonight
Don't play a card game it's not right
And dancing is sinful outright
Such man-made rules give me a fright
Mere Christianity |
Ideas of men are our delight
The truth is squeezed right out of sight
For human rules we want to fight
Just what did Jesus say that night
He has the sole preemptive right
To say what should be taught outright
And he said teach what I taught — right
