Song No. 32 - "From House to House"
From house to house, from door to door, annoying everyone
Who huddle down and make no sound until they're sure we've gone
Of course they do not realise we'll just come back again
We write 'NH' on our 'S8' and count the time again.
From bus to bus, from train to train, 'informal witnessing'
Of course it's just a way for us to not do anything!
We leave the plodding up to those who choose to pioneer
The wierd and smelly we avoid or those we think are queer (no offense to anyone :)
Of course it's not at every door we find a hearing ear
And if we do, the chances are, they're on their fourteenth beer
'Twas just the same in Jesus' day, no one would hear his word
But then the crap they make us say is really quite absurd
They send us out, from door to door, to spread the "kingdom news"
It's either that or clean the hall and polish all the loos (that's a toilet in england)
The magazines we carry round are full of doom and gloom
And most of them we do not sell just end up in our room
Oops I forgot, they're not 'for sale', we give them at 'no charge'
But not 'no cost', I know I lost, ten quid on this last batch
So when we come, annoying you, and knocking on your door
We're suffering as much as you - in fact we suffer more.
Hope I haven't offended anyone - I had trouble getting something to rhyme with pioneer...
