Gather me grandchildren if you love a good mystery,
Gather me grandchildren for a little church history,
It's 2044, you're avoiding our turn of the century ways,
How do we strike it rich' - Kissing up to the powerful,
How do we make our pitch' - Satellites by the tower-full,
Why do you young people have to go and get caught up in a radical phase'
My conscience was clear and my wallet was full,
I didn't hear none of this "sacrifice" bull,
Tough times call for a backtrack,
Gimme that old-time easy listening.

Cuddle up, yeah, yeah, twelve hours, twice a day,
Cuddle up, yeah, yeah, simmer down...attaway.

Colour me old-fashioned, but I still remember when the sermons were affirming 'cause the Lord liked us better then,
It's 2044, and I don't want to be my brother's keeper no more,
Colour me chicken yellow if I like it in the ozone,
Call me lemon jello if I lack a little backbone,
We're "King's Kids" dang it, and I used to know what a housekeeper was for,
Tickle my ear and I'll pay for your show,
Sing about stuff that I already know,
Whisper sweet nothings, pour a nightcap,
Gimme that old-time easy listening.

Cuddle up, yeah, yeah, twelve hours, twice a day,
Cuddle up, yeah, yeah, simmer down, attaway,
Cuddle up, yeah, yeah, order now, don't delay,
Cuddle up, yeah, yeah, sleep it off, drool away.

Gather me 'round children 'cause your faith is a mystery,
Gather me grandchildren for a little church history,
It's 2044, and I miss our turn of the century ways,
How do we strike it rich' - Kissing up to the powerful,
How do we make our pitch' - Satellites by the tower-full,
Why do you young hotheads have to go and get caught up in a radical phase'
I'm ok, you're ok, we're ok, so I think I'm gonna buy my own radio show,
Spread the good news and the Barry Manilow,
Happy talk, no rock, non-stop easy listening.

Cuddle up, yeah, yeah, twelve hours, twice a day
Cuddle up, yeah, yeah, simmer down, attaway,
Cuddle up, yeah, yeah, order now, don't delay,
Cuddle up, yeah, yeah, sleep it off, drool away.
