Fill-the-pews---sinners need Salvation..."Saints"...too!

_Faithful-(Sinnes) fill-the-pews!
(some Sunday-mornin’ hymn-singing news)
 
Sunday mornin’ bright-dawnin’, faithful-(sinners) fill-the-pews
All fightin’ for the back-seats, sufferin’ Saturday-night blues
 
Yonder-goes temptress Bobbi-Jo, her hair still quite a-mess
Spent last-night in Jimmy’s car, donned a crisp white-dress
 
Widow-Lawson entertains ole neighbor-George each-night
Watchin’ through yon open-curtain lighted-window sight
 
Seven-young-uns’ holy folded-hands angelic-slow march-in
Daddy smiles at his secretary-girl, plans red-roses for-to-send
 
Their-Momma wears that old-worn fashion straw Sunday-hat
Eyes straight-ahead, refuses to-participate in any sin-like-that
 
Silk-suited banker-Tom drops a nickel in the collection-plate
5th-wife Lenora dressed fit-to-kill, ole-Tom is no cheap-skate
 
Sunday mornin’ bright-dawning, faithful-(sinners) fill-the-pews
All fightin’ for the back-seats, sufferin’ Saturday-night blues
 
Mary-Lou in a sacred royal-crimson robe, she is the choir-Queen
Imbibed a-bit-too-much at the church-social, made quite-a-scene
 
Comes Eddie and wife-Sue who live high-up on Sunset (Rich-man) Hill
Sue skinny-dips for an even-tan and adores her pool-boy, handsome-Bill
 
Sunshine through stained-glass offers solace to a motley-crew
The preacher always talks on evil-sin, a subject they all-knew
 
Watchin’ all-the-sinners makes me vow holy-Redemption!
They ain’t near as bad as me embracing evil-conscription
 
Sunday mornin’ bright-dawning, faithful-(sinners) fill-the-pews
All fightin’ for the back-seats, sufferin’ Saturday-night blues
 
And, been there an-hour a-fore the rest, sittin’ against the-wall
Little Granny-lady with her Bible---praying…“Never-to-sin-fall”
 
Sunday mornin’ bright-dawning, faithful-(sinners) fill-the-pews
All fightin’ for the back-seats, sufferin’ Saturday-night blues
 
A---A…Amen! Amen!
