Tammy Faye: Televangelist Queen

Tammy Faye: Televangelist Queen

A Poem by Bob B

(This poem can be sung to the melody of "Tammy" by Jay Livingston and Raymond B. Evans.)

 

You topped TV's televangelist scene.

Tammy Faye, Tammy Faye, you were the queen.

When hubby Jim Bakker was forced to come clean,

Tammy Faye, Tammy Faye, you were still queen.

Will we ever know

What it was

That made you tick?

And people still wonder why

Your make-up was so thick.

We can still picture your face with its sheen.

Tammy Faye, Tammy Faye, you were the queen.

 

When other preachers were badmouthing gays,

Tammy Faye, you had new pathways to blaze.

You offered them love in so many kind ways,

Even though there was much money to raise.

When the world was cruel,

So very cruel,

To people with AIDS,

Compassion for them became

One of your crusades.

Although people blasted your actions and mien,

Nonetheless, Tammy Faye, you were the queen.
