That Preacher’s Got the Nerve

That preacher's got the nerve
To tell us what to do.
Can't do this and can't do that
Can't even gamble, too.

That preacher's got the nerve
To tell us not to smoke.
Can't drink this and can't drink that
Might even have a stroke!

That preacher's got the nerve
To meddle in our lives.
Can't marry him, can't marry her
Can't even have three wives!

That preacher's got the nerve
To tell us not to lie.
Can't tell this and can't tell that
I just can't figure why!

That preacher's got the nerve,
To tell us not to cuss.
Don't say that and don't say this
Just what is all the fuss?

That preacher's got the nerve,
To care so for my soul.
So maybe I'll do this or that
And set Heaven as my goal!

And when my life is ended,
And God's judgement I can't swerve,
He might ask just who changed me
And I'll say, "That preacher with the nerve!"
