Though Louis Jourdan's estate apparently has a policy of not releasing his "Deacon Jones" lyrics -- perhaps because he made it as a successful mainstream R&B man and wanted to leave his less creditable songs behind him -- these lyrics do appear in an article about him, which calls it "some of his greatest ethnic performances."

They are, of course, cleaned up, and excerpted. Can anyone quote his version in its complete form?

DEACON JONES

As sung by Louis Jourdan (part only)

Who gets all the chicken breast
And leaves all the gizzards for the rest?
    Deacon Jones, yes yes yes ...

And when a sister's feeling blue,
Who's always there to woo?
    Deacon Jones, oh yeah ...

And before any of the church money is spent,
Who takes out his usual ten percent?
    You guessed it ... Deacon Jones.
