I posted a Kids Club video about doing good on Sunday and a friend told me about this song he remembered from childhood. Ain't It a Shame to Work on Sunday? was a real hit at one time in legalistic churches. I wonder if the person who wrote this song really thought about what the last two verses implied. I laughed!
I wish I could have found a video of someone singing this song. Unfortunately (I think), there were none to be found. I only found a short sample on Amazon MP3 download page. The sample has slightly different, and less humorous, words.
Without something to show you, I guess I'll just give you the lyrics. Enjoy!
Ain't it a shame to wash on Sunday,
Ain't it a shame (a washing shame),
Ain't it a shame to wash on Sunday,
Ain't it a shame (a washing shame),
Ain't it a shame to wash on Sunday,
When you got Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday,
(And you got Thursday, Friday, and Saturday),
Ain't it a shame.
Ain't it a shame to work on Sunday,
Ain't it a shame (a working shame),
Ain't it a shame to work on Sunday,
Ain't it a shame (a working shame),
Ain't it a shame to work on Sunday,
When you got Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday,
(And you got Thursday, Friday, and Saturday),
Ain't it a shame.
Ain't it a shame to joyride Sunday,
Ain't it a shame (a joyriding shame),
Ain't it a shame to joyride Sunday,
Ain't it a shame (a joyriding shame),
Ain't it a shame to joyride Sunday,
When you got Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday,
(And you got Thursday, Friday, and Saturday),
Ain't it a shame.
Ain't it a shame to gossip on Sunday,
Ain't it a shame (a gossiping shame),
Ain't it a shame to gossip on Sunday,
Ain't it a shame (a gossiping shame),
Ain't it a shame to gossip on Sunday,
When you got Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday,
(And you got Thursday, Friday, and Saturday),
Ain't it a shame.
Ain't it a shame to lie on Sunday,
Ain't it a shame (a lying shame),
Ain't it a shame to lie on Sunday,
Ain't it a shame (a lying shame),
Ain't it a shame to lie on Sunday,
When you got Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday,
(And you got Thursday, Friday, and Saturday),
Ain't it a shame.
