Holy, holy, Hallejuah! (x3)
Right! Make it through the night...

Refrain: Let’s make religion (Alright, let’s make religion)

Verse 1
It started out quite innocent
We were doin’ our chores the other day (Refrain)
When someone had the bright idea
We could make religion of our play (Refrain)
Every day we’d sing and shout
Clap our hands and dance about,
Singing Glory, Glory, Amen! (Amen, amen)

Verse 2
Then we all decided
We should divide up all the work (Refrain)
You got to sweep the floor
And I had to shovel up the dirt (Refrain)
Then the game became a fight
We’d quarrel, brother, day and night
About who’d get to dust the windowpane! (yeah-eh-hey-hey)

Bridge
Glory Glory, Hallelooo
Make us Holy, make us true
What’s a good religion have to do…
To be alright?
To make it through the night?

Refrain x2, with key change on second refrain

Verse 3
Soon our little fight turned out like war (Refrain)
You plain refused to do the dishes
And they piled up door to door (Refrain)
Then the game came to a stop,
Mama Moses had to tidy up
‘Cause we were getting bored of all this play….. hey-hey, hey-hey

Refrain x2, with key change on second refrain

Verse 4
The Bab came and blew his trumpet loud and long
He gathered up the angels it was quite a throng!
He healed the blind, He raised the dead
But they pumped him through and through with lead
And we stood by and shook our heads…

Refrain: Let’s make religion (repeated x5)
