The night was so thick, you could stir it with a stick, in our friendly peaceful town;

When an evil wispher blew in like a wind,

that made the man in the moon to frown;

It slithered in, in someones back door through the telephone lines,
but when it reached the church house steps, a chill went down my spine:

Look out for the monster tongue

It preys on the old and the young

It's set on the fire of hell

When it strikes, no one can tell

It could be right, behind your back

To launch a sudden sneak attack

Something wicked this way comes

ATTACK-- EEEEEKKK

Of the monster tongue

(riinnnggg)Hello Sally,Ermma;
Guess who I saw walking past the liquor lounge today?
PASTOR BOB!
What do you suppose he was doing in THAT part of town?

(riinnnggg)Hello Clarence, Sally;
Mind you this is not gossip, it's a prayery request
Prayer for our Pastor!
Hes been seen coming out of the liquor lounge!!

(riinnnggg)Hello Floyd, Clarence;
Our pastor was seen yesterday at the liquor lounge,
sitting at a table with a strange woman.
WHAT ABOUT THAT!
ah, but don't repeat any of this.

(riinnnggg)Hello Tom, Floyd;
I'm not suppose to repeat any of this
so i'm only gonna say it ONCE!
Our Pastor is an alcoholic and he's cheating on his wife!

Look out for the monster tongue

It preys on the old and the young

It's set on the fire of hell

Of the monster tongue

I'm glad you came over Annie; more tea?
Yes, thank you
Is it really true that Pastor Bob is a boozing, cocain addicted, wife beating, communistic, peeping tom?
Yes, and even worse, he's a liberal!
OOOHHHH!!
(riinnnggg)
excuse me dearie
Hello Ermma, Gurtrud;
Have I got a juicy tidbit for you!
Lay it on me sister
You know that vicious rumor 'bout Pastor Bob?
It turns out that he was on that side of town
visiting that new family thats been coming to church
BUT the best part is, he found out who started it
and he's going to confront them now as we speak.
SPIT! SPIT! CHOKE!! CHOKE!! REALLY?
You wouldn't happen to know who did it would you?
Well, ah, uh I, uh, no,
(ding-dong)
DON'T ANSWER THAT!!

Well that tongue had a sharp and deadly edge
and it spread some vicious lies
But we used the two edged sword of the Spirit
to cut it down to size
When it saw us filled with Truth and Love
it's monsterous heart turned chicken
That day we use the Word of God to give the tongue
A LICKIN!
