lyrics

Don't know if I should cause the preacher told me no
Yeah, the preacher told me it ain't right
Sargent Pepper on the corner and the devil at the door
But I couldn't resist the moonlight

Calling hey hey
Mama moon, she'll fix you right
Calling hey hey
Flat foot jiving under street lights

Well it's a tip-toe slip show Phelipe Petit tightrope
Handcuffed for getting to high
Put your hand in the hand of a man who understands
And pray he leads you to the light

And pray-ay-ay
Daddy don't get to tight
Pray-ay-ay
Don't nobody think to ask why

Good lord, oh me oh my
Believe thou do me right, shall I
Believe thou do me right and I said

Come on say Amen
Couple hours till a blue sky morning
Come on say Amen
Hush-a-bye baby, the cradle done rocking
Come on say Amen
To everything an end, come time this night does end
So come on, come on say Amen

.22 in the hand of a patriotic man
And a hippy flower set you free
Skirts dancing on the bandstand feet up hand stands
Nobody buckle their knees

And say-ay-ay
Mama moon shining down on me
Say-ay-ay
Who you living to please

Good lord, oh me oh my
Believe thou do me right, shall I
Believe thou do me right and I said

Come on say Amen
Couple hours till a blue sky morning
Come on say Amen
Hush-a-bye baby, the cradle done rocking
Come on say Amen
To everything an end, come time this night does end
So come on, come on say Amen
