The song is about being a big sinner: "one day of prayin' and six nights of fun.
You better believe that the odds against going to heaven are six to one"
(Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-ooh)
You walk on the wild side--
You better walk humble--
"Cause if you stumble,
Satan is waitin' to take your hand."
I guess you have to hear it. It's got a real finger-wagging, Aunt Esther kind of feel! Lots of fun! And the Persuasions were one of the first big a cappella groups.
