Is That Religion?

Is That Religion? - Mildred Bailey

Written by：Mitchell Parish/Maceo Pinkard/Glenn Miller

Brethren sistren

Hear my preachin'

Hear my preachin' to

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

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
