SING YOU SINNERS
You sinners, drop everything,
Let that harmony ring
Up to heaven and sing,
Sing, you sinners!
Just wave your arms all about,
Let the Lord hear you shout,
Pour that music right out,
Sing, you sinners!
Whenever there's music,
The devil kicks!
He don't allow music
By the River Styx!
You're wicked and you're depraved,
And you've all misbehaved,
If you wanna be saved,
Sing, you sinners!
You sinners, drop everything,
Let that harmony ring
Up to heaven
And sing, you sinners!
Just wave your arms all about,
Let the Lord hear you shout,
Pour that music
And sing, you sinners!
Whenever there's music,
The devil kicks!
He don't allow music
By the River Styx!
You're wicked and you're depraved,
And you've all misbehaved,
If you wanna be saved,
Sing, you sinners!
Come on and sing, sing, sing!
You sinners, drop everything,
Let that harmony ring
Up to heaven and sing,
Sing, you sinners!
Just wave your arms all about,
Let the Lord hear you shout,
Pour that music right out,
Sing, you sinners!
Whenever there's music,
The devil kicks!
He don't allow music
By the River Styx!
You're wicked and you're depraved,
And you've all misbehaved,
If you wanna be saved,
Sing, you sinners!
You sinners, drop everything,
Let that harmony ring
Up to heaven
And sing, you sinners!
Just wave your arms all about,
Let the Lord hear you shout,
Pour that music
And sing, you sinners!
Whenever there's music,
The devil kicks!
He don't allow music
By the River Styx!
You're wicked and you're depraved,
And you've all misbehaved,
If you wanna be saved,
Sing, you sinners!
Come on and sing, sing, sing!
