The Maxes: Music/Lyrics

I regret to say Mrs. T passed away in summer 2004. I went to the funeral; she looked good.

PLEASE DON'T SWEAR IN FRONT OF MRS. TOMPKINS


Please don't swear in front of Mrs. Tompkins
For Mrs. Tompkins saw the light last week
She used to rock 'n' roll
But now they've saved her soul
And heads are gonna roll
If you should blaspheme when you speak

If you swear in front of Mrs. Tompkins
You're gonna get a lecture of brimstone and flame
She's sweet enough all right
But now she's seen the light
So be careful when you say the Lord's name

Please don't swear in front of Mrs. Tompkins
For Mrs. Tompkins saw the light last week
She used to cut a rug
Drink from a liquor jug
But now she's got the Bible bug
So please don't blaspheme when you speak

If you swear in front of Mrs. Tompkins
You're gonna get a big fat earful, certainly
If your car's been in a wreck
You better just say "darn!" or "heck!"
But please don't swear in front of Mrs. T
