Shoot the Preacher Down

Ooh, Lordy

That's right

Ooh, look out, y'all

Me and men watchin' late night TV

Saw a scary man came up to me

And said, "Hey man, a-take my hand"

Looky here

I said, "No, no, no, mister please

You can't bring a bad boy to his knees"

He's got a subtle way to say, "Get outta town"

Shoot the preacher down

Just when I thought that he was dead

Got right back on his feet, and this is what he said

"Black is bad, white is right"

But white by day is black by night

Shoot the preacher down

Shoot the preacher down

Ooh, some choose Heaven, some choose Hell

Ain't no vacant lot to buy, lease, or sell

Save our souls for judgement day

Cash your chips, you're on your way

Shoot the preacher down

Shoot the preacher down

Shoot the preacher down

Shoot the preacher down

Oh, yes indeed, a lil' devotion

Just touch the boob tube, and y'all will be healed

Take my hand, and I'll lead you to the promised land

Oh, shoot the preacher down

Shoot the preacher down

Shoot the preacher down

Shoot the preacher down

Ow, shoot, shoot, yeah, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Shoot the preacher down

Oh, oh

Shoot the preacher down
