Brothers and sisters, members of the congregation, the deacon board
Can I get a amen? (Amen!)
Welcome to the Upstairs Baptist Church
My name is Reverend T.A. Thompson
T.A. Thompson is his name
T.A. Thompson's got to take the blame
Calls himself a gospel preacher
A sho' 'nuff Sunday school teacher
Goin' around preachin' against sinners
Should know, 'cause the Devil is his next of kin
T.A. Thompson is his name
T.A. Thompson's got to take the blame
But we call him Rev, oh yeah
We call him Rev, oh oh
We call him Rev, oh no
We call him Rev, oh, my my my my
There used to be a time in the church
When everybody done a little work
If you ain't got no money
Don't you go to the Reverend on Sunday
Just ask about Heaven and glory
Rev say "Sisters, that's a different story"
T.A. Thompson is his name
T.A. Thompson's got to take the blame
But we call him Rev, oh yeah
We call him Rev, oh my my my
We call him Rev, oh Lord
We call him Rev, oh oh oh
We call him Rev
Rev is a mighty man
He's got the power of the world in his hands
Rev is a mighty good teacher
And a sho' 'nuff Sunday school teacher
Oh Rev likes to eat greens and the chicken and a whole pot of stew
You gonna pay for your schemin'
And your low down dirty dealin'
Rev is a mighty man
He's got the power of the world in his hands
Oh, he likes to eat greens and the chicken and a whole pot of stew
