The Kingsmen – Excuses Lyrics
Artist: The Kingsmen
Song: Excuses
Excuses, excuses, you’ll hear them every day
And the Devil he’ll supply them, if the church you stay away
When people come to know the Lord, the Devil always loses
So to keep them folks away from church, he offers them excuses
In the summer it’s too hot. And, in the winter, it’s too cold
In the spring time when the weather’s just right, you find some place else to go
Well, it’s up to the mountains or down to thе beach or to visit some old friend
Or, to just stay homе and kinda relax and hope that some of the kin folks will start dropping in
Well, the church benches are too hard. And, that choir sings way too loud
Boy, you know how nervous you get when you’re sitting in a great big crowd
The doctor told you, “Now, you better watch them crowds. They’ll set you back.”
But, you go to that old ball game because you say “it helps you to relax.”
Well, a headache Sunday morning and a backache Sunday night
But by worktime Monday morning, you’re feeling quite alright
While one of the children has a cold, “Pneumonia, do you suppose?”
Why the whole family had to stay home, just to blow that poor kid’s nose
Excuses, excuses, you’ll hear them every day
And the Devil he’ll supply them if the church you stay away
When people come to know the Lord, the Devil always loses
So to keep them folks away from church, he offers them excuses
Well, the preacher he’s too young. And, maybe he’s too old
The sermons they’re not hard enough. And, maybe they’re too bold
His voice is much too quiet-like. Sometimes he gets too loud
He needs to have more dignity. Or, else he’s way too proud
Well, the sermons they’re too long. And, maybe they’re too short
He ought to preach the word with dignity instead of “stomp and snort.”
Well, that preacher we’ve got must be “the world’s most stuck up man.”
Well, one of the lady’s told me the other day, “Well, he didn’t even shake my hand.”
Excuses, excuses, you’ll hear them every day
And the Devil he’ll supply them if the church you stay away
When people come to know the Lord, the Devil always loses
So to keep them folks away from church, he offers them excuses
So to keep them folks away from church, he offers them excuses
Well, the sermons they’re too long. And, maybe they’re too short
He ought to preach the word with dignity instead of “stomp and snort.”
Well, that preacher we’ve got must be “the world’s most stuck up man.”
Well, one of the lady’s told me the other day, “Well, he didn’t even shake my hand.”
Excuses, excuses, you’ll hear them every day
And the Devil he’ll supply them if the church you stay away
When people come to know the Lord, the Devil always loses
So to keep them folks away from church, he offers them excuses
So to keep them folks away from church, he offers them excuses
