Текст песни Is That Religion? (Cab Calloway) с переводом

Brethren, sistren

I’ve got shoes (You've got shoes)

All of our children got shoes

Brethren (Yeah!), sistren (Yeah!)

Oh, hear my preachin', hear my preachin', do

Brethren (Yeah!), sistren (Yeah!)

The good books teachin' ain’t been reachin' you

Sister, you strut the aisles

All dressed to kill with style

You wink your eye and smile

Is that religion?

One thing I do despise

You catch my deacon’s eyes

That’s where the weakness lies

Is that religion? (Tell us all about it!)

You see your parsons vexed

Doggone it, you got him so preplexed

Now you know doggone well my mind ain’t on my text

Now tell me, is that religion?

You know there’s gonna be some cheatin' did

You all done took me off my lid

Tryin' to get your partners to skid

Now you know doggone well that ain’t religion!
