We'd like to do a new one, most of them are new
This one is very new
We don't even know this one yet, it's brand new
It's composed by Benny Carter for the Count Basie Orchestra
Here is "Meeting Time"
Get to meet now
George Tucker will take the lead
George Andrew Tucker
Sister Yolande Bavan will preach Joe Newman's trumpet solo sermonette
It's meeting time, it's meeting time
Let's go to church, it's Sunday meeting time
No time for play, wait till Monday
It's time to pray every Sunday
That day sublime, it's Sunday meeting time
Choir is gonna sing
Sisters gonna shout
Then we're gonna hear the preacher preach
And tell you what it's all about
It's meeting time, it's meeting time
Let's go to church, it's Sunday meeting time
You brothers and you sisters
You better listen while I tell you
If you don't mend your ways, you're gonna end your days
Down there where brother Satan lives at
You lie, cheat, rob, steal
Yes, yes, you do everything wrong
Stop your sinning ways, or you're gonna end your days
In tears and it won't be too much longer
Choir is gonna sing as only they can
And all of the people are gonna shout out loud
And then they're gonna hear the preacher preach
He gonna preach and preach a little sermon
And tell you what it's all about
It's meeting time, it's meeting time
Let's go to church, it's Sunday meeting time
Leave your city in the lurch
Come along and go to church
That day sublime, it's Sunday meeting time
Sunday meeting time
Sunday meeting time
It's meeting time
