Learn To B. Goode

Parody of "Johnny B. Goode" by Chuck Berry

Parody Lyrics by Steve Parnell
Deep down in my heart I've known what "Jesus" means,
Ever since I was a little kid in my teens
I prayed to God and did the things they said I should
No matter how I tried it was so hard to Be Goode.
I never ever learned to read the Bible well,
But knew that God could save me from a goin' to hell.

They said go, go Johnny go to
church, go Johnny go, go,
Go, go Johnny go to
church go Johnny go, go
go learn to Be Goode.

I used to carry my guitar in a gunny sack,
Go sit up in the trees along the railroad track.
The preacher seen me sittin', singin' in the shade
Tryin' to find some sense in the mistakes I'd made.
Instead of passin' by he stopped to say
"Come on to church and we will help you find the way!"
(guitar solo)

My mamma never guessed that I would be the man
Leading congregations with a worship band
Singin' 'bout the Savior how His love abounds
Playin' those old hymns in rockabilly sound
(But) Since I found that Jesus is the one true light,
Bein' good ain't so much of a fight.
