The Bible and the Frying Pan Lyric - Rebecca Peaden, Richard Larabie, Gregg Jansen Music/Vocals - Keith Marchetti Mama read the Bible as she cooked She was a five foot lovin' gal When it was done we'd come runnin' When she rang that dinner bell The fundamental tools in her life Were the Bible and the frying pan She always tried to teach us right And raised us with a real firm hand < Mama upheld the laws of God Almighty With the Bible and her frying pan She used them both so righteously She never had to raise a hand When she caught us misbehavin Mama'd start prayin' as she fixed our bacon She used them both so well Her Bible and the frying pan Mama didn't like tobacco Thought it was a mortal sin If she found where pop hid the cigarettes She'd tear'em up for him And drinkin' lit a fire under Momma Cause it was an abomination She'd pour his moonshine down the drain To help Poppa resist temptation Chorus: Mama upheld the laws of God Almighty With the Bible and her frying pan She used them both so righteously She never had to raise a hand When she caught us misbehavin Mama'd start prayin' as she fixed our bacon She used them both so well Her Bible and the frying pan When Poppa caught the neighbor boy Stealin' hogs outta our pig pen That boy'd be shakin' when she got done Preachin' the wages of sin Chorus: Mama upheld the laws of God Almighty With the Bible and her frying pan She used them both so righteously She never had to raise a hand When she caught us misbehavin Mama'd start prayin' as she fixed our bacon She used them both so well Her Bible and the frying pan (©May 2006)
