Song Description

Tongue in cheek song depicting the life of one particular Lutheran pastor

Lyrics

Well I’m paid off on my car and I’ve got a big house
I’m married with kids but they think I am a louse
I’ve got a crappy job, got a nice dog
I’m sitting here thinking what’s the sense of this all?

I should’ve been a Lutheran Pastor
Really should’ve been a Lutheran Pastor

And I could work on Sunday, sleep all day Monday
Fishin’ on Tuesday, dancin’ on Wednesday
Friday rolls around it’s time to work on my sermon!
Saturday night I think I see a bright light!!

I gotta be a Lutheran Pastor
Really wanna be a Lutheran Pastor

It’s the Reverend
It’s the Reverend
Reverend Bobby

Now I’ve got a slip of paper and it says, “Reverend…
Congratulations, You’re one of the brethren
Go and tend your flock they are the poor and the needy
We wish you God speed but check back with us yearly”

I really am a Lutheran Pastor
Even really got a congregation

But I can’t find my church there is no address listed
No PO Box…I’ll just drive around
Fishin’ for souls, Hey after all it’s Tuesday
Just around the block another promisin’ spot!

I gotta find my congregation
Really, really need a congregation

It’s the Reverend
It’s the Reverend
Reverend Bobby

Now I’m all settled in quite snuggled and cozy
Mendota Health that is a very nice name
It really is true I am Reverend Bobby
Got a Sunday service, it’s down in the Lobby!

I really am a Lutheran Pastor
Really, really am a Lutheran Pastor

I am Reverend
Reverend Bobby
Quite Reverend Bobby
Most Reverend
Bobby
