lyrics

Verse:
We just got a sign at our church last month.
We bought a marquee for announcements and such.
The choir needed singers, we thought it’d work fine
To write “Singers welcome” up on our sign

One Saturday night the wind blew too hard
And one of the letters flew off through the yard.
Now who would’a known all the trouble there’d be?
We just wanted singers but we lost the G

Chorus:
Who let these sinners into my church?
The place is just packed and it could not be worse .
Now all of the deacons are mad as can be
Cause we just wanted singers but we lost the G.

Verse:
Now sweet sister Bertha just fell on the floor
When she saw that biker gang walk through the door.
And Melvin and Martha’s poor hearts skipped a beat
When they saw those hippies sit down in their seats
And Bob got a chill from his head to his toes
When he saw that man with the ring in his nose.
And I can’t believe my very own eyes
There’s women in blue jeans and men without ties.

To Chorus:
Verse:
That preacher of our, he just went insane
He says it’s a miracle all of them came.
He’s talking all crazy he must not be well
He says it’s revival but we say it’s hell.
