Jimmy Swaggart, a mover and shaker,
TV preacher is meeting his Maker. (1)
On his Judgement Day
What will Jimmy say
To convince God he’s not just a faker?

Saint Peter acts as Heaven’s gate keeper.
Peter serves as God’s principal peeper
At all that we’ve done
In both work and fun.
And Saint Peter can always dig deeper.

Jimmy Swaggart liked ladies for renting. (2)
Heaven sent? No, there’s no Heaven scenting.
Caught with his pants down–
Saint Peter will frown–
Even though there was tearful repenting.

Meanwhile, Jimmy has piled up his riches
While he crawled out of ethical ditches,
Saint Pete’s seen a lot
And he can smell rot
And Saint Peter has heard all the pitches.

So, will Jimmy bask in Heaven’s glory,
Though his life is a dubious story?
Will his story sell?
Will he escape Hell?
Or be ashes in God’s crematory?
