Mr. Jones this car you sold me isn't all that I desired

You swore it was young and healthy now I find it's old and tired

But a deal's a deal you tell me and there's nothing to be done

Mr. Jones I'd like you better if you robbed me with a gun

You're a Sunday morning Christian sir singing louder than the rest

Beg forgiveness at the altar with your chin down on your chest

But tomorrow will be Monday you'll revert back to your ways

Don't let me stand in your way surely God will forgive you next Sunday
