The Kingsmen Quartet used to sing: CHORUS: Excuses, excuses, youll hear them every day. And the Devil hell supply them, if from church you stay away. When people come to know the Lord, the Devil always loses So to keep them folks away from church, he offers them excuses. In the summer its too hot. And, in the winter, its too cold. In the spring time when the weathers just right, you find some place else to go. Well, its up to the mountains or down to the beach or to visit some old friend. Or, to just stay home and kinda relax and hope that some of the kin folks drop in. Well, the church benches are too hard. And, that choir sings way too loud. Boy, you know how nervous you get when youre sitting in a great big crowd. The doctor told you, Now, you better watch them crowds. Theyll set you back. But, you go to that old ball game because you say it helps you to relax. Well, a headache Sunday morning and a backache Sunday night. But by worktime Monday morning, youre feeling quite alright. While one of the children has a cold, Pneumonia, do you suppose? Why the whole family had to stay home, just to blow that poor kids nose. CHORUS: Excuses, excuses, youll hear them every day. And the Devil hell supply them if from church you stay away. When people come to know the Lord, the Devil always loses So to keep them folks away from church, he offers them excuses. Well, the preacher hes too young. And, maybe hes too old. The sermons theyre not hard enough. And, maybe theyre too bold. His voice is much too quiet-like. Sometimes he gets too loud. He needs to have more dignity. Or, else hes way too proud. Well, the sermons theyre too long. And, maybe theyre too short. He ought to preach the word with dignity instead of stomp and snort. Well, that preacher weve got must be the worlds most stuck up man. Well, one of the ladys told me the other day, Well, he didnt even shake my hand. CHORUS: Excuses, excuses, youll hear them every day. And the Devil hell supply them if from church you stay away. When people come to know the Lord, the Devil always loses So to keep them folks away from church, he offers them excuses. So to keep them folks away from church, he offers them excuses. https://youtube/watch?v=wQmAlc3nzUY
