Lyrics

Seven Deadly Sins

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Some say that kissin'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

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

Some say that gamblin's a sin

But I'll bet you fifteen to one

That gambling has been in this world

Since horses and greyhounds could run

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

Some say that swearin'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

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

Some say that smokin'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

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

Some say that drinkin's a sin

But a gargle is fine now and then

For drinking has been in this world

For ever and ever, Amen

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
