Subject: Lyr Add: WHEN THE ROLLS ARE SERVED BACK YONDER From: Jim Dixon Date: 16 Oct 16 - 09:00 PM WHEN THE ROLLS ARE SERVED BACK YONDER As recorded by David Petete on "He Looks So Normal" (2013) [Tune: "When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder":] They have labored in their kitchens from the dawn till setting sun, All their fav'rite dishes to prepare. Then they'll bring them Sunday morning all encased in Tupperware. When the rolls are served back yonder, I'll be there. CHORUS: When the rolls are served back yonder, (3x) When the rolls are served back yonder, I'll be there. I can smell the smell of pot-roast as I'm sitting in my pew. What is said or sung I'm simply unaware. If the Lord comes back, please tell him I will rapture when I'm through, 'Cause when the rolls are served back yonder, I'll be there. CHORUS [Tune: "I'll Fly Away":] Some sad mornin', biscuit in my hand, I'll pass away— More cholesterol than I could stand, I'll pass away. I'll pass away in the mornin'. I'll pass away (in the mornin'). When I die, no one to blame but I, I'll pass away. [Tune: "When the Roll is Called Up Yonder":] 'Cause when the rolls are served back yonder I'll be there. |

Subject: Lyr Add: WHEN THE ROLLS ARE SERVED UP YONDER From: dick.hamlet Date: 15 Oct 16 - 03:41 PM Came across this thread, and didn't find the lyrics that Carly (?) sang at the 2004 Getaway. Here they are: WHEN THE ROLLS ARE SERVED UP YONDER We have labored in the kitchen from the dawn to setting sun Making food and drink for everyone to share. When the dinner bell of heaven sounds and work on earth is done Oh the ladies of the church will all be there. CHORUS: When the rolls are served up yonder (3X) Oh, the ladies of the church will all be there. We put on a fancy banquet when the bishop comes to call; The aroma of our chicken fills the air. But when dinner time is over still our work is not yet done: There are dishes, pots and pans that need our care. We make tons of mashed potatoes, we make gallons of sweet tea And our apple dumplings are beyond compare. We make casseroles and compotes, we make cookies, cakes and pies; The ladies of the church are always there. On that bright and cloudless morning in a banquet hall on high When that heavenly host says, "Girls, pull up a chair", There will be no dirty dishes and no supper to prepare And the ladies of the church will all be there. |

Subject: Lyr Add: WITH MY LITTLE STUB OF PENCIL I'LL BE... From: Nigel Parsons Date: 22 Jun 16 - 05:10 PM When they hold the referendum, and I'm asked to make my mark. With my little stub of pencil I'll be there. When it's "d'you want rule by Brussels, or a leap into the dark?" With my little stub of pencil I'll be there. I'll be there, I'll be there. With my little stub of pencil, I'll be there. When they hold the referendum With my little stub of pencil, I'll be there. Do you want to be like Norway, and be left out in the cold? When they hold the referendum will you dare? Will you vote for rising taxes, and to penalise the old? With my little stub of pencil I'll be there. Will you join the Brexit voters? stand with Nigel (nice but dim) Did you like his latest poster? Don't you care?! Or there's that nice David Cam'ron, would you buy a car from him? With my little stub of pencil, I'll be there. So have you now decided? That vote's just a few hours hence. There are lots of polling stations everywhere. Have you come to a decision? No more sitting on the fence. With our little stubs of pencil, we'll be there. |

With my little stub of pencil, I'll be there. When they call/hold the referendum With my little stub of pencil, I'll be there. Just a starter. Feel free to add to it, or use it, it'll only be topical for a short while! |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When The Rolls Are Passed Up Yonder From: Joe Offer Date: 01 Oct 08 - 03:19 AM I think Sonja and I have it worked out so the lyrics can stay. It's a darn nice parody, it is.... -Joe- |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When The Rolls Are Passed Up Yonder From: Melissa Date: 01 Oct 08 - 01:58 AM I haven't heard Nan's version, but I LIKE yours, Sonja..and I hope it stays here. they'll probably go away fastest if you send a message to Joe O. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When The Rolls Are Passed Up Yonder From: GUEST,Sonja Date: 01 Oct 08 - 01:49 AM Sorry, folks. Didn't mean to substitute my version (any of them) for Nan's. I read Dani's post hastily and took the "(where are you, FSGW'ers?!)" to be a sort of "Song Challenge" (as in "Come on, folks, give it a go."). On reading it more carefully, I see Dani was asking us to find NAN's song. (Unfortunately, Mudcat doesn't have a "delete" or "edit" function for us to undo something posted by mistake. My posts really should deleted, if there's someone who can do that.) S |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When The Rolls Are Passed Up Yonder From: Haruo Date: 01 Oct 08 - 01:25 AM That's great, Sonja, but can we have Nan's too? Haruo |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When The Rolls Are Passed Up Yonder From: Linda Goodman Zebooker Date: 30 Sep 08 - 10:45 PM Yes, I remember hearing Nan sing "When the Rolls are Served Up Yonder" in the Barn at a Getaway at Camp Ramblewood a few years back. I think in that same session, Roger sang "Mamma Fried". |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When The Rolls Are Passed Up Yonder From: Nigel Parsons Date: 26 Sep 08 - 06:54 AM Guest (Bugsy) WHEN THE ROLLS ARE PASSED UP YONDER.....Make mine Ham & Cheese. Should be: WHEN THE ROLLS ARE PASSED UP YONDER, Please make mine Ham & Cheese. a. it is more polite b. it retains the scansion Cheers Nigel |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When The Rolls Are Passed Up Yonder From: Genie Date: 25 Sep 08 - 11:55 PM The initial query in this thread was about one heard a while back. It well may have been Nan's. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When The Rolls Are Passed Up Yonder From: Ron Davies Date: 25 Sep 08 - 10:20 PM I believe that Nan Goland of FSGW also has written a different parody on the same subject, to the same tune, with much the same viewpoint. She may also have sung it at a Getaway. I'm pretty sure I've heard her sing it--not sure where. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When The Rolls Are Passed Up Yonder From: Sorcha Date: 25 Sep 08 - 10:05 PM OH! SORRY! Totally missed the fact that you were looking for a parody! MY bad! Again. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When The Rolls Are Passed Up Yonder From: Genie Date: 25 Sep 08 - 12:24 AM Sorcha, I did a DT and Forum Search for [When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder] and all I found was the old Gospel tune. No parodies. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When The Rolls Are Passed Up Yonder From: Sorcha Date: 24 Sep 08 - 09:40 PM Well, actually, the title is When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder. I bet if you'd searched for that, you'd have found it. Titles mean a lot. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When The Rolls Are Passed Up Yonder From: GUEST,Dani Date: 24 Sep 08 - 09:34 PM for the sharing AND for the song : ) Dani |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When The Rolls Are Passed Up Yonder From: Joe Offer Date: 23 Sep 08 - 01:16 AM Well, yeah, I prolly could fix it = but it's kinda fun to watch the process of development. Thanks, Sonja. It was most inspiring... -Joe- |
Subject: Lyr Add: WHEN THE ROLLS ARE PASSED UP YONDER From: GUEST,Sonja Date: 23 Sep 08 - 12:55 AM Hate to do this to you kind folks, but as I'm just making this up as I type, I think I've come up with some better lyrics. Here's the latest (and maybe last -- Whoopee!) revision: WHEN THE ROLLS ARE PASSED UP YONDER Parody lyrics by Sonja W. Oates 2008 Parody of "When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder" (James M. Black, 1893) When the crumpets of the Lord shall 'round the flock be passed once more, And it's breakfast time in Heaven, bright and fair; Just as week by week we labored at God's culinary chores, When the rolls are passed up yonder, we'll be there. When the rolls are passed up yonder, When the rolls are passed up yonder, When the rolls are passed up yonder, When the rolls are passed up yonder we'll be there. On that heav'nly breakfast morning when the yeast of life shall rise, And God's crescent rolls and biscuits we prepare; When the chosen ones shall gather to receive celestial pies, And the rolls are passed up yonder, we'll be there. When the rolls are passed up yonder, When the rolls are passed up yonder, When the rolls are passed up yonder, And the rolls are passed up yonder, we'll be there. We shall labor in God's kitchen from the dawn till setting sun, Never resting on our reborn derrières; When God's salad course is over and the entree has begun, And the rolls are passed up yonder, we'll be there. When the rolls are passed up yonder, When the rolls are passed up yonder, When the rolls are passed up yonder, And the rolls are passed up yonder, we'll be there. ==== Of course, as we're doing parodies, I betcha some o' you fo'ks can come up with some even better lines. Have at it! |
Subject: Lyr Add: WHEN THE ROLLS ARE PASSED UP YONDER From: GUEST,Sonja Date: 23 Sep 08 - 12:44 AM Oops! Joe Offer can prolly fix this, but I goofed. Here are the correct lyrics (not the ones asked for, but new ones, since I don't know the old ones). WHEN THE ROLLS ARE PASSED UP YONDER New lyrics by Sonja W. Oates Parody of "When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder" ( James M. Black, 1893) When the crumpets of the Lord shall 'round the flock be passed once more, In that coffee break, eternal, bright and fair; In the same way that we gathered week by week to do God's chores, When the rolls are passed up yonder, we'll be there. When the rolls are passed up yonder, When the rolls are passed up yonder, When the rolls are passed up yonder, When the rolls are passed up yonder we'll be there. On that heav'nly breakfast morning when the yeast of life shall rise For God's croissants and baguettes to be prepared, When His chosen ones shall gather to receive celestial pies, And the rolls are passed up yonder, we'll be there. When the rolls are passed up yonder, When the rolls are passed up yonder, When the rolls are passed up yonder, And the rolls are passed up yonder, we'll be there. We shall labor in God's kitchen from the dawn till setting sun, Kitchen queens who've ever baked with love and care; Then when coffee hour is over and God's main course has begun, And the rolls are passed up yonder, we'll be there. When the rolls are passed up yonder, When the rolls are passed up yonder, When the rolls are passed up yonder, And the rolls are passed up yonder, we'll be there. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When The Rolls Are Passed Up Yonder From: GUEST,Dani Date: 22 Sep 08 - 06:51 PM Thanks, but that's the original... I'm looking for a parody I heard sung at a Getaway (where are you, FSGW'ers?!). Dani |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When The Rolls Are Passed Up Yonder From: SINSULL Date: 22 Sep 08 - 08:55 AM Any mention of rolls and I think of Peter Souza offering the waitress (Tami) " a little tip." You had to be there. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When The Rolls Are Passed Up Yonder From: Trevor Date: 22 Sep 08 - 08:03 AM Rapsquillion do this - p-mail me if you want and I'll send you a recording. At least we used to, until I told the newest member of the band a very vulgar story involving a cardboard tube (roll) just before we performed it. She corpsed so badly she had to leave the stage, and none of us have been able to sing it since! |

Can't find this anywhere, but I know I've heard it sung at a Getaway, so one of you guys out there, somewhere, knows this parody, a tribute to those church ladies who load up the tables with wonderful food.
