It was early Sunday morning
Everyone in the house
was still asleep
She made some toast and coffee
Took a shower and made
herself smell sweet
She said I don't want a bus ride
I believe that the walk
might help me think
Got a heart kind of heavy
I need some big hat and gloves
shoes and bag religion!
Religion
That's my decision
Some of that make me feel
better when I shout religion
That's my decision
<Interlude>
Papa Henry was full of spice
He was a man usually nice
But something got
into him last night
Made him want to
fuss and hollar
The entire house was
in a sweat
His bottle got broken
and the floor got wet
Clean it up! you could
hear him scream
Then he said,I'm going out
I need religion
Religion
That's my decision
Some of that raise up the roof
90 proof religion
That's my decision
Religion
It's my decision, oh yes it is
<Interlude>
That's my decision
It's the story about
a good family
Who doesn't live anymore
in good harmony
They are people who love
their daughter and son
They try to give them religion
<Interlude>
Little Billy likes his
best friend Jack
How in the world
could he be like that
Mama and Henry wanna
have that chat
Boy, you need religion
Little Betty, whatcha gonna do?
There's a child
growing inside of you
You should've stopped
and thought things through
Little girl you need
a vision of religion
Religion
And that's my decision
Some of that how'd
I get on Rikki Lake religion
That's my decision
Religion
Get a little
Religion
