CARMAN Licciardello! "Temptation Boogie" Lyrics:
I woke up Monday morning
with my head all full of nothin'
I walked down to McDonald's
to get me an Egg McMuffin
Still half asleep waiting in line
around seven twenty - three,
when this loudmouth pushy businessman
cut in front of me
My eyes went cold, I clinched my fist,
I wanted to thump him good,
but then the Spirit stopped me
But something held me back inside
when I saw how it stood
The holy ghost reminded me
I represent the Lord,
and it would be hard to witness to him
stretched out on the floor
CHORUS:
Some people say "let it out"
Some people say "hold it in"
But Jesus says to crucify it
for that thing there is sin,
and I was fighting with temptation
I was dueling with that thing
Bondage and struggle
is all that it will bring
Well, what's a soul to do
when it's face to face with sin?
He oughta pray not once but twice
put on the Mind of Christ
and get that sweet ol' victory again
Well, I grabbed my superman beach towel
QT Tanning lotion
I thought I'd take a cruise
and catch some rays down by the ocean
I had it all planned out
to roast some burgers and some wienies
But, when I arrived everything but the telephone poles
was dressed up in bikinis
My flesh and spirit had a race
And Satan went full throttle
What those women wore
Man I've seen more cotton in an Aspirin bottle
Well, I knew there's just one way to please the Lord and still get tanned
But I felt so stupid with my big old head stuck in the sand.
CHORUS
Some people say "let it out"
Some people say "hold it in"
But Jesus says to crucify it
for that thing there is sin,
and I was fighting with temptation
I was dueling with that thing
Bondage and struggle
is all that it will bring
Well, what's a soul to do
when it's face to face with sin?
He oughta pray not once but twice
put on the Mind of Christ
and get that sweet ol' victory again
You gotta pray for that victory again
