Pass the Loot

 

By Elton Camp

 

He says that in God’s name he is your friend

The elegant TV preacher with rapturous grin

He holds a fancy cloth over which he prayed

He wants you to have it, but only if he’s paid

 

Just rub it over any place where you feel sick

And the illness will surely vanish that quick

Your “love gift” must be at least fifty dollars

Else you have no faith, the preacher hollers

 

Your contribution is needed to stay on the air

Send it in and show God how much you care

If you don’t respond then your faith is weak

Certainly not the kind God will bless or seek
