Vacation Bible School Ray Stevens

Well, where i grew up in talapusa
When summertime came we all use'ta
Go to a place called vacation bible school

We'd look up verses in the bible
Make paper cut outs of the twelve disciples
And memorize the ten commandments and the golden rule

I remember once when my class made
A big ol' batch of lemonade
To be used by a student teacher at the sunday sermon

Yeah we put in lemons, and sugar and water
And even though i knew i shouldn't ought'er
I put in some moonshine i got from my uncle herman

Now that sunday dawned real hot and dusty
And to say the lease we were all real thirsty
And that seminary started hittin' that lemonade
And kept it well in reach

Then to the best of my recollection
Before the deacons were halfway through the collection
He stood up and drank from the pitcher and began to preach Ho!

Oh the things we used to do
In vacation bible schoo'
When i was just a barefoot boy in dixie
If my mama had only known
Even a half of what went on
She'd cut a switch off of a hickory
She'd a whipped me
