I’m against sin.
I’ll kick it as long as I’ve got a foot, and
I’ll fight it as long as I’ve got a fist.
I’ll butt it as long as I’ve got a head.
I’ll bite it as long as I’ve got a tooth.

And when I’m old and fistless and footless and tootheless,
I’ll gum it till I go home to Glory and it goes home to perdition!


~ Billy Sunday
