Benny was tangled in the web he weaved
He coulda saw it comin', shoulda saw it comin'
His head in his hands, his heart on his sleeve
It's time to try the last resort
So he dials up God, falls to his knees
Cries like a baby, just like a baby
Saying words like "promise" and "please"
"I'll never ever do it again"
He said, "Listen, God, can I call you God?
I'm one of your favorite boys"
And then he heard a voice say
"Ooh, that's Mr. God to you
You shoulda thought this through
You only call me when you're blue
So that's Mr. God to you"
"Oh, Mr. God, my life's a mess
My car's broke down, my heart's broke down
I've fooled around, I must confess
But you never shoulda made her that way
Now, maybe I makes a few mistakes
Okay, maybe many (Alright, so there's many)
But if my wife finds out, my life's at stake
Could you hurry 'cause I'm late for church?"
"Listen, Lord, you know, you're my favorite Lord
So what are we gonna do?"
And then he heard a voice say
"Ooh, that's Mr. God to you
Let me think this through
Your prayer account is overdue
So that's Mr. God to you"

Good God!
Now, a cold, cold sweat got his pillow wet
Then he woke up, and when Benny woke up
Oh, how soon a fool forgets
He smiled and jumped out of bed
As he pulled the bathroom door to slam it
He stubbed his toe and cursed, "God"
And he thought he heard a voice say
"Ooh, that's Mr. God to you
You only call me when you're black and blue
Well, just remember who's who
And that's Mr. God to you"
