Well, I see him every evening,
at home on the TV screen.
He s got a smooth way of talking,
I think you know what I mean.
No, he s not selling nothing,
he s just trying to save a soul that s lost.
And he s waiting there to help you,
if only you can pay the cost.

Brother Sunshine,
you know you just can t lose.
Brother Sunshine,
when I pay my holy dues.
Yes, I love to hear him holler:
"Save your soul for a dollar!"
It s true, so true.

If you want to get to heaven,
just remember there s a price to pay.
So, send your check or money order,
and be ready for that judgement day.
He doesn t ask for a lot,
in return for life eternally.
just half of what you make,
is good enough to start, you ll see.

Step on up to the alter,
toll free operators are standing by.
And with your Mastercard or Visa,
just let your soul and bankroll fly.
You know, they re always short of money.
They could use a little help from you.
And if you call right now,
you ll get a set of steak knives, too.
