Long-haired preachers come out ev'ry night,
Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right;
But when asked what about something to eat,
They will answer in accents so sweet:

Chorus:
You will eat bye and bye,
In that glorious land above the sky.
(way up high)
Work and pray, live on hay,
You'll get pie in the sky when you die.
(that's no lie!)

And the starvation army they play,
And they sing and they clap and they pray,
'Til they get all your coin on the drum,
Then they'll tell you when you're on the bum:

Chorus

Holy rollers and jumpers come out,
And they holler and jump and they shout,
But when eating time comes around they will say,
"You will eat on that glorious day."

Chorus

This is, of course, to the tune of "In the Sweet Bye and Bye".
