The Lyrics

I heard him "prayin'", Robertson
He said I was a sinner, and I went along
But then I listened to what he was talking
Saw he's a shill who takes his flock in
Then he prayed for one to die
On the court that's so high

Decided he'll no longer leech me
I'd been stung by this "preacher's" scam
Into those pockets he gets reachy
Many stung by this preacher's scam
Robertson, he robs, not blessed, he robs

His scam works, although it's sleazy
So a lot of dough he's pried
Out of sweet folks, flocked to his scheming
He says you'll go to hell if you're not right
And he means very, very, very far right
This man's a very slick parasite

Compared to Falwell, this guy's creepy
Both are runnin' a preacher scam
' Least when they beg they don't get weepy
Like Swaggart, Roberts preacher scams
They all rob, all rob, yes they all rob

He's got many members
700 Clubbers, wide-eyed
He steals their money on the sly
Just takin' them in big-time
While his banks accounts are growin'
Up viewers' asses, smoke he's blowin'

He's learned quite well how to sound preachy
But it's only a preacher scam
He's alternately mean and treacly
[or: So run when he begs, "I beseech thee. . . ."]
Don't get stung by this "preacher's" scam
He robs moms, robs dads, daughters and sons

Well said, 555. About 99% of TV evangelists are crooks.
