Ballad of the Geezers' Revenge




It was a typical Sunday.  So typical no one suspected it would mark the beginning of the last great battle of the worship wars.  Then, out of nowhere, the Loyal Daughters class struck.  


Memory of that last brave stand is preserved in this timeless ballad, still sung around the campfire in honor of days gone by...

To the tune  
The Old Rugged Cross
Verse 1

In a room in the back
In a sad dusty stack
Are the hymnals we once
held so high
In their place are the screens
And projection machines
And a Dell Quad-core X25
Chorus: 
But I long for the hymnals again
Like the hug from a long lost old friend
Oh to hear those dear words ‘er I die
Let’s all sing number three forty five.

Verse 2 
Oh I miss Philip Bliss
Fanny Crosby’s great hits
All those songs
by those dead Calvinists
Where the words point out sin
And we’re glad God condemns
All those lefty pinko communists.
Chorus:  
Oh we long for the hymnals again
Like the hug from a long lost old friend
And next Sunday
our dreams will come true
Cause that screen
needs these four little screws
