DEADLY SINS
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
refrein: And if it was illegal then the lawyers they would sue
And the prisons would be full of folk who had a kiss (curse,bet,smoke,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 have none
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!"

Some say that gambling's a sin
but I bet you thousand to one
that gambling has been in this world
since horses and greyhounds could run
refrein
Some say that smoking's a sin
but a pipe now and then is enoug;
for smoking has been in this world
since Adam thought Eve how to puff
refrein
Some say that drinking's a sin
but a dram is the blessing of men
for drinking has been in this world
for ever and ever - Amen!
