THE SNAKE-TONGUED PASTOR

SNAKE-tongued PAS-tor, SLICK and SLY,

WATCH-ing WITH a HUN-gry EYE,

PLOT-ting, SCHEM-ing, WEEK by WEEK,

SNIFF-ing OUT the NEXT one MEEK.

"BROTH-er, RUN! That's NOT your WIFE!

SHE'S a MER-maid, CHANGE your LIFE!

FINS be-NEATH her SUN-day DRESS!

PAY me NOW, I'll BLESS the MESS!"

"SIS-ter, HUSH, and LEAN in NEAR:

NEIGH-bors WANT you DIS-ap-PEARED!

POI-soned PIES on EV-'ry PLATE,

PRAY'R cloth's FIF-ty, DON'T be LATE!"

"GOD is GOOD, so GIVE, give, GIVE!

TITHE it SO the SAINTS can LIVE!

GOD is GOOD, so O-pen WIDE,

HAND it O-ver, DO not HIDE!"

"GOT a VI-sion, LORD'S own CALL:

NEED a JET, a PRI-vate HAUL!

HEAV-en's FAR and FLIGHTS are DEAR,

SEND your OF-f'ring RIGHT in HERE!"

DOL-lar SIGNS light UP his EYES,

POCK-ets EMP-ty, WHAT a PRIZE!

HOME in RU-ins, WIFE in TEARS,

PAS-tor's WHIS-tling, NO more FEARS.

SUN-day COMES, he TAKES the STAGE,

SWEAT-ing, SHOUT-ing, IN a RAGE,

PREACH-ing "BLESSED are the POOR,"

WHILE he COUNTS the CASH, ga-LORE.

"ASK him WHERE the MON-ey GOES:

FAN-cy CARS and FAN-cy CLOTHES,

MAN-sion WITH a HEAT-ed POOL,

BAP-tiz-ING the GREED-y FOOL!"

WATCH your WAL-let, WATCH your WIFE,

RUN from HIM to SAVE your LIFE!

SNAKE-tongued PAS-tor, SLICK and SLY,

KISS your WAL-let, SAY good-BYE!
