Some say that kissing's a sin |
|
But tell me how can that be true? |
|
For kissing has been in this world |
|
Since the very first day there was two |
|
Now if it was illegal then the lawyers, they would sue |
|
And the prisons would be full of folk who had a kiss or two |
|
And if they didn't like it, then away the girls would run |
|
And if it wasn't plenty then the poor folk would get none |
|
Some say that gambling's a sin |
|
But I'll bet you fifteen to one |
|
That gambling has been in this world |
|
Since horses and greyhounds could run |
|
Now if it was illegal then the lawyers, they would sue |
|
And the prisons would be full of folk who had a bet or two |
|
And if they didn't like it, then away the girls would run |
|
And if it wasn't plenty then the poor folk would get none |
|
Some say that swearing's a sin |
|
But where is the man that can tell |
|
For swearing has been in this world |
|
Since the Devil was told, "Go to Hell" |
|
Now if it was illegal then the lawyers, they would sue |
|
And the prisons would be full of folk who had a toss or two |
|
And if they didn't like it, then away the girls would run |
|
And if it wasn't plenty then the poor folk would get none |
|
Some say that smoking's a sin |
|
But a pipe now and then is enough |
|
But smokin' has been in this world |
|
Since Adam taught Eve how to puff |
|
Now if it was illegal then the lawyers, they would sue |
|
And the prisons would be full of folk who had a smoke or two |
|
And if they didn't like it, then away the girls would run |
|
And if it wasn't plenty then the poor folk would get none |
|
Some say that drinking's a sin |
|
But a gaggle is fine now and then |
|
For drinking has been in this world |
|
For ever and ever, amen |
|
Now if it was illegal then the lawyers, they would sue |
|
And the prisons would be full of folk who had a drink or two |
|
And if they didn't like it, then away the girls would run |
|
And if it wasn't plenty then the poor folk would get none |
