lyrics
Well I could sing you the gospel
If you please, if you please
Yes I could sing you the gospel
If you please, if you please
But somehow the lady made me love you
More than I could, more than I could
Yes somehow the lady made me love you
More than I could, more than I could
But I could sing you the gospel
If you please, if you please
Well it read just like a caption
Like a head misunderstood
Well it gave such satisfaction
Like a heart only could, sayin’
I’m gonna borrow only the bits that I want dear
And I’m gonna take all the good
that I can by the end
Yes I’m gonna borrow only the bits
that I want dear
And I’m gonna take all the good
that I can by the end
Well Frankenstein had a lover
Her name was Gildred-Sue
Well she had three toes and a freckle
And a great big lover’s caboose
She says, “I’m gonna love you,
If it’s the last thing that I do!
Yes I’m gonna love you,
If it’s the last thing that I do!”
But I’m gonna borrow only the bits
that I want dear
And I’m gonna take all the good
that I can by the end
Yes I’m gonna borrow only the bits
that I want dear
And I’m gonna take all the good
that I can by the end
Well I could sing you the gospel
If you please, if you please
Yes I could sing you the gospel
If you please, if you please
If you please, if you please
Yes I could sing you the gospel
If you please, if you please
But somehow the lady made me love you
More than I could, more than I could
Yes somehow the lady made me love you
More than I could, more than I could
But I could sing you the gospel
If you please, if you please
Well it read just like a caption
Like a head misunderstood
Well it gave such satisfaction
Like a heart only could, sayin’
I’m gonna borrow only the bits that I want dear
And I’m gonna take all the good
that I can by the end
Yes I’m gonna borrow only the bits
that I want dear
And I’m gonna take all the good
that I can by the end
Well Frankenstein had a lover
Her name was Gildred-Sue
Well she had three toes and a freckle
And a great big lover’s caboose
She says, “I’m gonna love you,
If it’s the last thing that I do!
Yes I’m gonna love you,
If it’s the last thing that I do!”
But I’m gonna borrow only the bits
that I want dear
And I’m gonna take all the good
that I can by the end
Yes I’m gonna borrow only the bits
that I want dear
And I’m gonna take all the good
that I can by the end
Well I could sing you the gospel
If you please, if you please
Yes I could sing you the gospel
If you please, if you please
