but tell me how can that be true?
For kissing has been in this world
since the very first day they were two
well, the lawyers, would sue
And the prisons would be full
of folks who had a kiss or two
And if they didn't like it,
And if there wasn't plenty,
well, the poor, they wouldn't get enough
Well, some say that gambling's a sin,
but I'll bet you fifty to one
That gambling has been in this world
since greyhounds and horses first run
well, the lawyers, they would sue
And the prisons would be full
of folks who had a battle too
And if they didn't like it,
well, the poor they would get none
And 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
well, the lawyers they would sue
And the prisons would be full
of folks who had a curse or two
And if they didn't like it,
And if there wasn't plenty,
were the poor, they would get none
Now some say that smoking's a sin
And a pipe now and then is enough
But smoking has been in this world
Since Adam taught Eve how to puff
all the liars they would sue
And the prairies would be full
of folks who had a straw or two
And if they didn't like it,
And if there wasn't plenty,
well, the poor they would get none
And some say that drinking's a sin
But a gargle is fine now and then
But drinking has been in this world
