[Verse]

Well the preacher and the teacher, Lord, they're a caution

They are the talk of the town

When the gossip hits the fan, they ain't lyin'

when the sun goes fallin' down

Well they say that the father's insane,

and dear Missus Perkins a game,

with their sam

urai swords,
            
you can even h

        
ear the music 

            
at night.

And though it'

The people don

           
't seem to car

They'll just k

              
eep on lookin'

            
 to the east..
