Please let me sing in the choir, in the choir
Please let me sing in the choir
One old man can't be all that bad
Won't you please let me sing in the choir?
I guess you'd say he's a fixture
'Round town they all know his name
And every time the church bells rang
Uncle Jesse, he up and came
He always sat in the very same pew
Hummin' in a voice loud and rough
When it came to the Antioch Church House Choir
Uncle Jesse never heard enough
See, he always wanted to sing in the choir
But he couldn't sing a lick, don't you know
While he tried out for the Antioch Choir
Thirty-four years in a row
He'd always get to the try-outs early
He wanted to try out first
But instead of his singing, getting any better
Every year it just got a little worse
He said, please let me sing in the choir, in the choir
Please let me sing in the choir
One old man can't be all that bad
Won't you please let me sing in the choir?
One cloudy Sunday morning
I remember it was raining some
The church bells rang, and everybody came
Except Jesse, he didn't come
And everybody started getting worried
But they figured they'd start anyhow
And just as they did, Jesse's voice came
Booming down from heaven, and I don't know how
He said, I found me a choir that'll let me sing
Now I'm singing in the choir
And I can lift my voice just as high as yours
Maybe just a little higher
Well, I found me a choir that'll let me sing
Now I'm singing in the choir
You folks down there, you can't hold me light
'Cause I'm singing in the heavenly choir
Ohh, I found me a choir that'll let me sing
Now I'm singing in the choir
And I can lift my voice just as high as yours
Maybe just a little higher
Ohh, I found me a choir that'll let me sing
Now I'm singing in the choir
You folks down there, you can't hold me light
'Cause I'm singing in the heavenly choir
Please let me sing in the choir, in the choir
Please let me sing in the choir
One old man can't be all that bad
Won't you please let me sing in the choir?
