[N]
[G] Hello Mrs.
Johnson, you self-righteous [D] woman.
[G] Sunday school [C] teacher, what brings you out
Sunday?
Do you reckon [G] the preacher [D]
[G] would approve where you [C] are?
Standing here [G] visiting the
backsliding [D] Christians in a neighborhood [G]
bar.
But yes, that's my bottle, yes, that's my glass.
I see your eye [C] balling, this pretty girl's ass.
It ain't none of [G] your business.
But yes, he's with [C] me.
And we don't need [G] no sermon, you self-righteous [D] woman, just let [G] us be.
The Lord knows [C] we're drinking and [G] running around.
And he don't need your [C] loud mouth informing [D] the town.
The Lord knows [G] we're [C] sinning and sinning [G] ain't right.
But we're the [D] good and don't gonna have us a good talk later [G] tonight.
[D]
[G]
Goodbye Mrs.
Johnson, you self-righteous bitty.
We don't need your [C] preaching and we don't need your pity.
To go back to [G] whatever you hypocrites [C] do.
When we talk [G] to heaven be nice and [D] we'll put in a good word for [G] you.
The Lord knows we're [C] drinking and running [G] around.
And he don't need [C] your loud mouth [G] informing the town.
[D] The Lord knows we're [G] sinning
[C] and [G] sinning ain't right.
But we're [D] the good and don't gonna have us a good talk later [G] tonight.
