LET'S GO TO CHURCH

(Steve Allen)

As sung my Margaret Whiting and Jimmy Wakely 1947 
< Margaret Whiting The Original Recordings >

Also sung by:
Perry Como
Slim Whitman
Jimmy Wakely

Let's go to church next Sunday morning
Let's kneel an' pray side by side.
Our love will grow on Sunday morning
If we have the Lord as our guide.

Through the week
You love an' laugh an' labor.
But on Sunday
Don't forget to love thy neighbor.

Let's make a date for Sunday morning.
We'll go to church, you and I.

(bridge)

Let's go to church next Sunday morning.
We'll see our friends on the way.
We'll stand and sing on Sunday morning,
And I'll hold your hand as we pray.

Through the years
We'll always be together.
You'll be mine
And we won't fear the stormy weather.

Let's go to church next Sunday morning.
Let's go through life side by side.
