Some say that kissing's a sin, but tell me how that can be true,
'Cause kissing has been in this world since the very first day there was two.
And if it wasn't legal then the lawyers they would sue,
And the prison would be full of folk who had a kiss or two;
And if they didn't like it then away the girls would run,
And if it wasn't plenty then the poor folk would have none.
Some say that gambling's a sin, but I'll bet ya fifteen to one,
That gambling has been in this world since horses and greyhounds could run.
And if it wasn't legal then the lawyers they would sue,
And the prison would be full of folk who had a bet or two;
And if they didn't like it then away the girls would run,
And if it wasn't plenty then the poor folk would have none.
Some say that swearing's a sin, but where is the man that can tell;
For swearing has been in this world since the devil was told: "Go to hell."
And if it wasn't legal then the lawyers they would sue,
And the prison would be full of folk who had a curse or two;
And if they didn't like it then away the girls would run,
And if it wasn't plenty then the poor folk would have none.
And some say that smoking's a sin, but a pipe now and then is enough;
For smoking has been in this world since Adam taught Eve how to puff.
And if it wasn't legal then the lawyers they would sue,
And the prison would be full of folk who had a smoke or two;
And if they didn't like it then away the girls would run,
And if it wasn't plenty then the poor folk would have none.
Some say that drinking's a sin, but a gargle is fine now and then;
For drinking has been in this world for ever and ever amen.
And if it wasn't legal then the lawyers they would sue,
And the prison would be full of folk who had a drink or two;
And if they didn't like it then away the girls would run,
And if it wasn't plenty then the poor folk would have none.
