Subject: Lyr Add: Sin by David Diamond From: GUEST,Rick Pollay Date: 04 Sep 23 - 03:21 PM a parody using the tune of The Parting Glass Now recently I did intend My wicked lifestyle to amend. But my good deeds turned out to be Real bad for the economy. The sleazy bars are closing down For I no longer come around No quickies in the afternoon So the No-Tell Motel’s closing soon. CH: For every sin that we commit There’s someone’s job depends on it And on our morals, loose and lax The Government collects a tax Tobacco farmers have gone broke Since I no longer choose to smoke The fast food chains are failing too I’ve switched to carrots and tofu Policemen all are on half pay For I’ll commit no crime today Gun salesmen too in grief are mute There’s no one I would like to shoot. (Chorus) ` CHORUS When from my evil ways I ceased The unemployment rolls increased The streets filled up with homeless folk Since my bad habits I had broke The Congress and the President Committees to my door have sent With tears they beg, in grief and pain That I might un-reform again “The Market’s down, and jobs are lost. For all our sakes, please count the cost. This wicked virtue please give o’er Go forth, old young man, and sin once more.” CHORUS - AMEN I now use the following verse section in place of the section re crime and guns I now make do with less, not lots and no longer heed those TV spots Claiming that what’s new is improved So a thrift store to the mall has moved |
