Lyrics

Date to Church

I might catch some perch...yeah...

Ah...keep it rollin' here...

Take you on a lurch

On a little date to church

Take you and her

On a, a little date to church

La,la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la

Gimme one more

La, la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la

Take your honor fast

I'm going to a little bit mass

Come along, it can't hurt

We're on a, a little date to church

C'mon sing!

La, la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la

One more

La, la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la

Let me tell you now...

Old Satan's looking out for you

He'll get you by the night's through

Oh, we haven't much time alive

Take me down the hall...

Sitting in a pew

Well ain't we the chosen few

Might not help, but it can't hurt

On a, a little date to church

La, la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la

La, la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la

Deliver us, Reverend

What's that?

On a little date to church
