Gene Cotton – Like A Sunday In Salem (The Amos & Andy Song) lyrics

(CHORUS)
There was a lights out television show
There was Amos and Andy on the radio
And a man on a hill running round
Don't you know

Saying everybody here got to go
Saying everybody here got to go

There were some
People out in Hollywood
The words they had spoken
It was well understood

But three thousand miles
And for everyones good
A man stood singing his song

Dancing around all the tombstones
He said that a man if he's living
Would rather be dead

And he opened the eyes
To the typewriter's lead
And he said, now
It won't be too long

(CHORUS)
Saying everybody here got to go

(CHORUS)
Saying everybody here got to go
Saying everybody here got to go

The people, they gathered
From miles all around
Like a Sunday in Salem
They all could be found

And the lights all went out
With a deafening sound
As the church bells
Rang once again

The curtains were drawn
And the prophets had cried
When somebody screamed
That the joker had lied

The damage was done
And the saints crucified
And the truth will be
Lost til the end

(CHORUS)
Saying everybody here got to go

(CHORUS)
Saying everybody here got to go
Saying everybody here got to go
Saying everybody here got to go
