Gun Sale At The Church
(Written by Buddy Blue)
Well let's pack up the kids
and take a break, get away
leave the hustle and bustle
of living from day to day
and I know that the crime
in the city is getting worse
So I'm going on down to
the gun sale at the church
Well my lady's all set
to have us a real good time
Baby Johnny got fins
but he don't seem to mind
so the family’s all ready
to pray at the holy virg
That's set up in the middle of
the gun sale at the church
Well we'll ask the lord to
forgive us for all our sins
and we'll look at the latest in
gold plated firing pins
Well my two main men are
Jesus and old John Birch
So I'm going on down to
the gun sale at the church
Well we'll ask the lord to
forgive us for all our sins
and we'll look at the latest in
gold plated firing pins
Well let's pack up the kids
and take a break, get away
leave the hustle and bustle
of living from day to day
and I know that the crime
in the city is getting worse
So I'm going on down to
the gun sale at the church
So I'm going on down to
the gun sale at the church
So I'm going on down to
the gun sale at the church

Thomas: You are missed! Glad to see you peeking in now and again!
Michael: Thanks, I'm in a bit of dry patch for inspiration at the moment.
Baby Johnny's got bends (?)
to pray at the holy perch
anonymous: Thanks, I have made the corrections.
I'm still not sure about baby Johnny's "bends". Ah well, he might be a deep sea diver.
I've listened and I get
"Baby Johnnie's got fins"
ala something like thalidomide induced birth defects (although considering the population they're referring to in the song I'd say it would be more like genetic deficiencies created by rampant inbreeding)
anonymous II: Ha ha, that sounds so.. so.. eh.. Well so Beat Farmers.
I have amended the lyrics.
..pray at the Holy birth
too many men aren't Jesus and old John Birch..
so I'm going on down to the gun sale at the church.
..maybe Johnny's got plans...
It's:
"Well my two favorite men are Jesus and old John Birch"
Referring to the southern, red-neck, Christian-right population's affinity for Jesus, and the John Birch Society - an uber-right-wing political advocacy organization named after John Birch - a U.S. military man and Baptist missionary who was murdered by Communists.
It's pray at the holy virg
As in the virgin mary
It's pray at the holy virg
As in the virgin mary
That makes sense, I have made the correction.
Unfortunately I can't correct all the lyrics websites that have copied the text from this site :-)
