(Sung to the tune of: "Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus")
Come, thou long-expected Rapture;
Come for them, and take them away,
While I, with my camera, capture
Wonders of the heav'nly display.
Choirs of angels, now descending
Come to lead the believers away;
Lifting the faithful to heights never-ending.
Take them all, O, Happy Day!
Take their leaders, please, among them:
Robertson and Falwell, too.
Also, take the sleaze among them:
Swaggart and Bob Tilton will do.
Men of arrogance, men of anger,
So judgmental in all that they do.
Passing out answers to all of life's questions;
When in fact, they haven't a clue.
Gather up the televangelists;
All those who annointing receive.
They've been planning this trip for ages;
Suitcase packed, they're ready to leave.
All the con men and tearful criers,
The prophesiers and liars and thieves,
Preachers who rant: a whole pantry of Elmer Gantrys,
Don't forget to take all of these.
As I watch them all ascending
I'll admit I'm truly aghast.
TBN has exclusive coverage of
PTL's last telecast.
Now's the season to welcome reason,
For superstition's a thing of the past.
Once we are free from the pious and chosen,
Peace on earth can be ours, at last!
