Lyrics
Well, we've had a lot of preachers
In the church in my hometown
Some were mighty righteous
Some were mighty proud
Pastor Bob was fired
In the summer of '65
They said he was too liberal
The congregation cried:
"That Pastor Bob
He's too easy on the rules
He wears a beard
And he smokes a pack of Kools
He's changed the sign
In the marquee by the street
To an all too liberal message
A shame for all to see"
Come as you are
Lala la-la-la
Pastor Al was twice divorced
He was angry at the world
Full of cheating wives and liars
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
He'd point his righteous finger
Make the people shake with fear
But his righteous pointing finger
Barely lasted out the year
And the congregation sighed
And the congregation cried
Pastor Greg was a handsome man
Handsome, straight and tall
Fanny May, the organ player,
Prayed that he would call
Then one night in the organ loft
He gave her more than just a prayer
So they ran off to Ohio
To spread the gospel there
And the congregation sighed
And the congregation cried
Pastor Bill was a gift from God
An educated man
He had two degrees in psychology
His moral compass well in hand
He told us, "Sin is selfish;
Put the needs of others first."
But when his wife got sick he ran away
Went to Vegas with her nurse
And the congregation sighed
And the congregation cried
"Where's Pastor Bob?
He was an easy- going guy
He wore a beard
He smoked a pack of Kools a day
He changed the sign
In the marquee by the street
To an easy-going message
For all to see"
Come as you are
Lala la-la-la
