Bally teaches Sunday School,
With annointed touch
Tells the kids Bible stories,
A job he loves so much.

The kids they all look up to him,
He's such a "Godly" man,
For wisdom and some sound advice
Or when they're in a jam.

Late one summer evening,
The preacher's wife had phoned,
"Balladeer I'm all alone
Will you come to my home?

Balladeer got up and dressed,
Hopped into his car,
Drove over to the preacher's house
It wasn't very far.

She said, "Let's get a bite to eat
At Toerag's bar and grill
If you'll drive and bring us back
I'll pick up the bill."

She said, "Let's order cocktails,
Perhaps Long Island Tea"
Bally said, "No way I can
Would be hypocrisy."

She offered him a cigarette,
Bal asked, "Is this a joke?
I teach kids at Sunday school,
That it's a sin to smoke."

They consumed a gourmet meal,
Toerag prepared for them
She said let's mosie down the street
To the Holiday Inn.

They got a room and as you'd guess,
They 'sinned' thru-out the night
Woke up early-got dressed and left
Drove home before daylight.

Poor Bal was feeling guilty,
So he called his buddy Toe,
"What can I say to my class?",
Figured Toe would surely know.

He told Toe what had transpired
Every detailed part,
"I can't face my Sunday school
With this sinful heart."

Toe replied, "Just tell the truth
(I'm sure you've heard this line),
"You don't have to smoke or drink
To have a real good time."

Very true words Toe, you rhymed it well,
very well in fact. much enjoyed.
