Say you talk about your fella Deacon
There was one from my home
Say done got me about all the good looking women
What did he say?
I'm gonna leave all the mens alone
There wise is the great Deacon
Down to our church last night
When that reverend done gave that great lesson out
He said I know ya'll won't act right
At night when the lights come on
You oughta heard them sisters moan
(What did he say?)
Nobody knows what the good Deacon was doing
Lordy once the lights was out
I ain't no fortune teller but declare I know
Just what I'm talking about
There was one old brother by the name of Moe
Got so happy pulled off all of his clothes
(Be quiet!)
Nobody knows what the good Deacon was doing
Lordy once the lights was out
I ain't no fortune teller but I declare I know
Just what I'm talking about
There was one old sister by the name of Yearn
Shame to tell you brother what that sister was doing
(Shhhh!)
Nobody knows what the good Deacon was doing
Lordy once the lights was out
I ain't no fortune teller but I declare I know
Just what I'm talking about
There was one old sister lived down on Vance
Said I'd have been her shimmy partner, Lord if I had a chance
Nobody knows what the good Deacon was doing
Lordy once the lights was out
Said I ain't no fortune teller but declare I know
Just what I'm talking about
There was one old sister named Sister Green
Jumped up and done the shimmy Lord, you ain't never seen
Nobody knows what the good Deacon was doing
Lordy once the lights was out
Ooh Deacon, aah Deacon
Dee dee dah, dee dee dah
Nobody knows what the good Deacon was doing
Lordy once the lights was out
I ain't no fortune teller but declare I know
Just what I'm talking about
She pulled off one slipper and then one sock
Got way back and done the double eagle rock
Nobody knows what the good Deacon was doing
Lordy once the lights was out
Good Deacon, hey Deacon
Dee dee dah, dee dee dah
