Seven Deadly Sins

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some say that kissing's a sin But, tell me how can that be true? For kissing has been in this world Since the very first day there was two [Chorus] Now, if it wasn't legal then the lawyers, they would sue And the prisons would be full of folk who had a kiss or two And if they didn't like it, then away the girls would run And if it wasn't plenty then the poor folk would get none [Verse 2] Some say that gambling's a sin But I'll bet you fifteen to one That gambling has been in this world Since horses and greyhounds could run [Chorus] Now, if it wasn't legal then the lawyers, they would sue And the prisons would be full of folk who had a bet or two And if they didn't like it, then away the girls would run And if it wasn't plenty then the poor folk would get none [Verse 3] Some say that swearing's a sin But where is the man that can tell? For swearing has been in this world Since the Devil was told, "Go to Hell" [Chorus] Now, if it wasn't legal then the lawyers, they would sue And the prisons would be full of folk who had a curse or two And if they didn't like it, then away the girls would run And if it wasn't plenty then the poor folk would get none [Verse 4] And some say that smoking's a sin But a pipe now and then is enough But smoking has been in this world Since Adam taught Eve how to puff [Chorus] Now, if it wasn't legal then the lawyers, they would sue And the prisons would be full of folk who had a smoke or two And if they didn't like it, then away the girls would run And if it wasn't plenty then the poor folk would get none [Verse 5] Some say that drinking's a sin But a gaggle is fine now and then For drinking has been in this world For ever and ever, amen [Chorus] Now, if it wasn't legal then the lawyers, they would sue And the prisons would be full of folk who had a drink or two And if they didn't like it, then away the girls would run And if it wasn't plenty then the poor folk would get none
