I met my sister the other day
And gave her my right hand
As soon as ever my back was turned
She scandalized my name
Now do you call that a sister?
No, no
Scandalize my name
I met my neighbour the other day
[...]
I met my deacon the other day
[...]
I met my preacher the other day
And gave him my right hand
As soon as ever my back was turned
He too scandalized my name
Now do you call that religion?
No, no
