Hymn #2: Come Join the One True Church

previous: Hymn #1: Give Up the Rod

Brother Smith writes: "I've been working on a few other parodies, of which I offer one here. It's a possible door approach for musically inclined elders."

Sung to the tune of “Cabaret

Fed up with watching football on TV,
Sick of religious search?
Come join the One True Church, my friend,
Come join the One True Church!

You'll be a god running worlds of your own,
You'll have a privileged perch,
Come join the One True Church, my friend,
Come join the One True Church!

Who needs to drink?
(Who needs to think?)
Our way of life is past comparing—
Check the underclothes we're wearing!

Our prophet has his own hot line to God
(Whose politics are John Birch)
Come join the One True Church, my friend—
Don't get left in the lurch, my friend—
Come join the One True Church!!!

next: Hymn #3: Those Were the Days
