bill jones was a natural man
he was part of the master plan
if he could buy it, it was sold
and he always came in from the cold
one day he met a floozie
when she asked him for the news, he
responded with a grin
we have all been saved from sin
the floozie took her time
throwing him a lousy dime
she could have thrown him a nickel instead
but thoughtfully scratched her head
i have been all over the world, she opined
and thought i knew the human mind
but if you will pardon my ignorance
from what sin have we been saved, perchance?
i have one answer, bill replied
with a smile that still was wide
as he shook his head from side to side
the things they taught in school - they lied
there is no heaven up above
there is no universal love
there is no house at the end of the lane
where we meet all our old pals again
but all are saved from every sin
when the wheel rolls round again -
the floozie could only roll her eyes
while bill happily pontificized
though you think it not quite nice
i beg to offer you this advice
hesitate not, and do not blink
if someone offers you a drink
