eddie morton - in the right church but the wrong pew lyrics
[verse 1]
now who’s ever knockin’ at this hour?
it’s shockin’ to be bangin’ on a lady’s door
said elizabeth thompson, “peter, [sure?], but jim johnson?
i’ll fool him and pretend i don’t live here no more!”
“ms thompson’s done moved, sir!
the fact is [he bruised her ’cause of?] drunken little things they’d hear
i’m done explainin’
now there’s no need remaining
why, i’m sorry for to tell you, dear…”
[chorus]
you’re in the right church, but in the wrong pew
you’re in the right neighbourhood, that’s true
you’re in the right street, and what’s more
you’re in the right house, but on the wrong floor!
now when you’re out late, get the name straight
before you attempt to call
you’re in the right church, but the wrong pew
that’s all! amen!
[verse 2]
one night, while a+sleepin’, i heard somebody creepin’
’twas a burglar+man that’d come to call
it certainly was funny ’cause he thought i had money
and as broke as i was then, he tried to make a haul
i yelled and said, “mister! i’ve got a rich sister
but she’s living in the floor below!
to whom it concerns, sir, she’s got money to burn, sir
now you know exactly where to go!”
[chorus]
you’re in the right church, but in the wrong pew
you’re in the right neighbourhood, that’s true
you’re in the right street, and what’s more
you’re in the right house, but on the wrong floor!
now when you’re out late, get the name straight
before you attempt to call
you’re in the right church, but the wrong pew
that’s all! amen!
