Increase Mather told her daddy "I roundly disagree with you Your vocal style's too preachy All the yokels mock your teaching." But Cotton, he was just oblivious To all their cutting pleas Soon the townfolk took to it In every pew they looked to him For guidance just like eyeless lambs Awaiting that ol' kabob stand The skeptics formed The nation's born They want to have it, Cotton's dream But Increase had them mounted And they burned on open fires So the word spread just like smallpox In the Sudan The gentry cried: "Give it a day!" "Give it a day!" "Give it a day!" "Give it a day!" "Give it a day!" "Give it a day!"

What did you do to him to make him think
