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. Help! Dani |

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! |

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 hungry reborn chillun' all to share; For God's brown 'n' serves and bread 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. |

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.

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 |

15 Oct 16 - 03:41 PM (#3814887) Subject: Lyr Add: WHEN THE ROLLS ARE SERVED UP YONDER From: dick.hamlet 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. |

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. |
