I want to tell you an actual fact
Every man don't understand the Bible alike

You can't get to heaven unless you wash your feet
And that's all

Is the one that does the washin' with the pure in heart
And that's all

That they can get to heaven without the furgamint wine

Gonna call the chief tell him to drive the ghosts away

'Cause none's going to heaven but the pure in heart
And that's all
I tell you that's all

But you'd better have Jesus I tell you that's all
