I kept my hands clean today No unholy things for me today I snubbed my neighbor twice For twice the heathen greeted me I gave him barbed advice For each time he had cheated me I kept my hands clean today No unpleasant things for me today I went nowhere where one could find Sinning folk or those in need I chastized a beggar who was blind Accused a friend of pride and greed I kept my hands clean today No ungodly things for me today I avoided adulterers and ****** And gluttons, thieves, and tools I gave a penny to the poor And two cents to a fool I kept my hands clean today So God, why didn't you bless me today?
