"(Soloist 2) I can see a swath of sinners, sitting yonder and they're acting like a pack of fools. Gazing into space, they let their eyes wander, 'stead of studying the good lord's rules. You better pay attention, build your comprehension- there's gonna be a quiz at your ascension. Not to mention any threat of hell!- But if you're smart you'll learn your lessons well! Every bright description of the promised land mentions You can reach it if you keep alert Learnin' every line and every last commandment May not help you but it couldn't hurt First ya gotta read 'em then ya gotta heed 'em Ya never know when you're gonna need 'em Just as old Elijah said to Jezebel You better start to learn your lessons well!"
