Reverend

Boo!Boo!

And I know today I should just go to town

Woah! They’re crazy.

Woah! They’re crazy.

Talk to those peeps and perhaps calm ‘em down

Hi.Hi. Hi!Hi!

Then I meet Abigail and the feeling I get is the pits

Confused? Scared!

She just hasn’t accused me yet

I might have to tell, might have to let known Went on between Abby and me in my home

Act II

So long ago, my wife she still says That I screwed it all up, no pun intended

Wonder how this town is so crazy

Listening to kids just ‘cause they say things

Now I see it’s my responsibility
