GUEST,mcp the hasher Baptist Sunday School words offensive? (105* d) RE: Baptist Sunday School words offensive? 26 Oct 09


Below is the Politically-correct version of "Darkie Sunday School" which is still not appropriate for a christian church. This song was never meant for the church community and changing it otherwise would be akin to changing "There once was a man from Nantucket" to be a church song!

Chorus: Young folk, old folk,
Everybody come,
To the country Sunday School,
And we'll have lots of fun.
Bring your sticks of chewing gum,
And sit upon the floor,
And we'll tell you Bible stories,
That you never heard before.

Now Adam was the first man,
So we're lead to believe,
He walked into the garden,
And bumped right into Eve,
There was no one there to show him,
But he quickly found the way,
And that's the very reason,
Why we're singing here today.

The Lord said unto Noah,
"It's going to rain today,"
So Noah built a bloody great Ark,
In which to sail away.
The animals went in two by two,
But soon got up to tricks,
So, although they came in two by two,
They came out six by six.

Now Moses in the bulrushes,
Was all wrapped up in swathe,
Pharaoh's daughter found him,
When she went down there to bathe.
She took him back to Pharaoh,
And said, "I found him on the shore"
And Pharaoh winked his eye and said,
"I've heard that one before."

King Solomon and King David,
Lived most immoral lives,
Spent their time a-chasing,
After other people's wives.
The Lord spoke unto both of them,
And it worked just like a charm,
'Cos Solomon wrote the Proverbs,
And David wrote the Psalms.

Now Samson was an Israelite,
And very big and strong,
Delilah was a Philistine,
Always doing wrong.
They spent a week together,
But it didn't get very hot,
For all he got was short back and sides,
And a little bit off the top.
