How the Money Rolls In

To the tune of: “My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean” I My grandpa sells condoms to sailors He pokes holes in them with a pin My grandma gives backstreet abortions Lord, how the money rolls in! II My cousin’s a pastor in Cleveland He saves young, fallen girls from their sin Fifty bucks, and he’ll save you a cutie Lord, how the money rolls in! *Variations of the above have been around at least since the 1970's. Written 5/25/22

Ha! I've never heard these before, Robert. I love them...and so much truth. I love the enterprising grandpa and grandma one. They have a real "thing" going.

I first hear this aboard ship in Alameda, California in the Navy. This would be the 1970's. Thank you, Milt

(chuckling) I think I know who you have in mind, Jeff. I was an SBC pastor. I understand they've just done a big study on sexual abuse in the church and found it more prevalent than previously thought. One pastor resigned this week after confessing adultery...he didn't mention with a 16-year-old. OMG!
