SEVEN DEADLY SINS

Some say that kissing's a sin, but tell me how can that be true?
For kissing has been in this world since the very first day there was two.

CHORUS:
And if it was illegal, then the lawyers they would sue,
And the prisons would be full of folk who had a kiss* or two,
And if they didn't like it, then away the girls would run,
And if it wasn't plenty, then the poor folk would have none.

Some say that swearing's a sin, but where is the man that can tell?
For swearing has been in this world since the Devil was told, "Go to Hell!"

Some say that gambling's a sin, but I bet you thousand to one
That gambling has been in this world since horses and greyhounds could run.

Some say that smoking's a sin, but a pipe now and then is enough.
For smoking has been in this world since Adam taught Eve how to puff.

Some say that drinking's a sin, but a dram is the blessing of men.
For drinking has been in this world for ever and ever. - Amen!

*) Insert kiss, curse, bet, smoke and drink.

Unfortunately The Dubliners doesn't sing the last two verses of this song either (compare to 7 drunken nights). One can only imagine... (Anyway I'd be very interested to get them) -H
