Lyrics The Deacon Moves In - Esther Phillips

Look out fat deacon
Do ya really think about we kind
Well now sister pigeon
If you really want that sorta religion
You better do what I say and see the thing my way
Your eyes are glowing
That's not true baby
I think I really oughta be a'going
You mustn't fret

I'm a gonna make you feel the spirit
Just send your heart to me and sit upon my knee
Should I start praying?
No no I think I didn't delay
What are you saying?
Goodbye baby

It's much much much too late
Please stop squeezin' my hand
Well you do not understand
That deacon... yeah deacon is movin' In

Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go mister
Yeah take some, take some, take some, take some sister
If you kiss me once again
I'm gonna stick you with this pin
Well go ahead and stick me 'cause
The deacon is movin' In

Jump to this yeah... jump... yeah
Yeeeasss she get those moves right
It all in baby
Yeeaahh,
Everybody goes along with the deacon
That was a deacon tone
Yeah jump to this

The meetin' is downstairs
Want that true religion
Yes baby you you you's just a tender pigeon
Hand me down that gin
And kiss me once again

Yes kiss baby
The deacon, deacon is movin' in
