(Broadway only)
I can see a swath of sinners settin` yonder
And they`re actin` like a pack of fools
Gazin` into space lettin` their minds wander
`Stead of studyin` the good Lord`s rules
You better pay attention, build your comprehension
There`s gonna be a quiz at your ascention
Not to mention any threat of hell
But if you`re smart you`ll learn your lessons well!
Every bright description of the promised land mentions
You can reach it if you keep alert
Learnin` every line and every last commandment
May not help you but it couldn`t hurt
First ya gotta read `em then ya gotta heed `em
Ya never know when you`re gonna need `em
Just as old Elijah said to Jezebel
You better start to learn your lessons well!
