Mildred Bailey with Dorsey Brothers' Orchestra — Is That Religion?

> Brethren, sistren Hear my preachin'; Brethren, sistren Good book teachin' Ain't been reachin' you! Ah sisters, you strut the aisle You all dressed to kill with style You wink your eye and smile Is that religion? One thing I do despise; You catch your deacon's eyes That's where the weakness lies! Is that religion? You see the parson vexed You got him so perplexed His mind ain't on his text! Is that religion? There's some cheatin' gonna be did And you well done took off the lid Tryin' to get your partner to skid! Is that religion? -(Instrumental Break)- Brethren, sistren Ain't it a shame to trifle on Sunday Ain't it a shame! Ain't it a shame to trifle on Sunday Ain't it a shame! Ain't it a shame to trifle on Sunday When you got Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday too Ain't it a shame! 'Cause sisters, you strut the aisle You all dressed to kill with style You wink your eye and smile Is that religion? One thing I do despise; You catch your deacon's eyes And that's where the weakness lies! Is that religion? You see the parson vexed You got him so perplexed His mind ain't on his text! Is that religion? There's some cheatin' gonna be did And you well done took off the lid Tryin' to get your partner to skid! I'm askin' you Remindin' you too! Now tell me true Is that what you call religion, huh? <<
