Well, I wake up in the morning and I start to sin
\nSeven o’clock’s about the time I begin
\nI think of pouring some coffee, maybe downin’ some tea
\nAin’t no hot drink that’s off limits to me<\/p>\n
They say a natural man’s
\nAn enemy to God
\nThat’s sure one slippery iron rod<\/p>\n
I can peaches on the Sabbath, it’s a thing that I do
\nI go to church every Sunday when I’m wearin’ no shoes
\nI feed pigeons with bread left on the sacrament tray
\nI don’t use middle initials when I name the GAs<\/p>\n
Oh, I’m a natural man
\nYou know what that means
\nI watch General Conference in my T-shirt and jeans<\/p>\n
BRIDGE:
\nAll my button-down shirts are every color but white
\nI might applaud in a chapel when there’s somethin’ alright
\nMy special musical number uses trumpets and drums
\nI have eight CTR rings on both of my thumbs<\/p>\n
Well, I never reached Eagle – Second Class to this day
\nAnd I’ve never once chuckled at ol’ John Bytheway
\nI don’t bring refreshments; I don’t put away chairs
\nI sing the wrong hymn until the chorister swears<\/p>\n
‘Cause I’m a natural man
\nResigned to my fate
\nI’m Bruce R. McConkie’s Deadly Heresy Eight<\/p>\n
[Insert self-indulgent heavy metal guitar solo here]<\/p>\n
I’m still in my PJs at each P.E.C.
\nI ingest Diet Coke intravee-nee-ously
\nI’m the reason the red punch has all disappeared
\nGot a brand new beard card but won’t grow a beard<\/p>\n
‘Cause I’m a natural man…
\n[Guitar Solo]
\nOh, I’m a natural man…
\n[Odd bass solo]
\nNatural, natural, natural…
\nMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!<\/p>\n
