Gene Cotton Miscellaneous Like A Sunday In Salem (the Amos & Andy Song) LIKE A SUNDAY IN SALEM Gene Cotton There was a lights out television show There was an Amos and Andy on the radio And a man on a hill runnin' round don't you know Sayin' "ev'rybody here got to go" Sayin' "ev'rybody here got to go" There were some people out in Hollywood The words they had spoken it was well understood But three thousand miles and for ev'ryone's good A man stood singing his song Dancin' around all the tombstones he said "That a man if he's livin' would rather be dead" And he opened the eyes to the typewriter lead And he said, "Now it won't be too long." (Repeat chorus) The people they gathered from miles all around Like a Sunday in Salem they all could be found And the lights all went out with a deafening sound As the church bells rang once again The curtains were drawn and the prophets had cried When somebody screamed that the joker had lied But the damage was done and the saints crucified And the truth will be lost till the end (Repeat Chorus)
