(May be sung to the tune of "Jamaca Farewell"
"Down in Jamaica where the nights are gay..."
C. (G7)There-
(C)are so many (Dm)ways to steal,
(G7)(rest) Take a look, You'll (C)find alot. But
(C)we should try to (Dm)live the way, com-
(C)mandment (G7)number (C)seven taught.
1. (C) (rest)There is some stealing that is (F)plain to see like-
(C) if we (G7)pick a (C)pocket.
(C) (rest)Or if we shoplift in a (F)jewelry store for a
(C)bracelet, (G7)ring or (C)locket.
(C) (rest)But there are lots of other (F)ways to steal that-
(C)may not (G7)be so (C)obvious
(C) (rest)Though we can see they're stealing (F)anyway and it
(C)doesn't (G7)take a (C) genius.
Chorus
2. (rest) We're stealing if we're given too much change and we
slink away with the extra cash.
(rest) We're stealing if we deal in shoddy goods and-
everything we sell is trash.
(rest) We're stealing if we're lazy on the job and we
don't put in the work that's due
(rest) Yea, if we give these things a little thought then we
know that they are stealing too.
3. (rest) We are to look out for our neighbor's stuff as-
if it were our very own
(rest) And if its help they need, we lend a hand, or
help with things that we can give or loan.
(rest) We should remember too, that if we steal, we will
always lose out in the end.
(rest) Meanwhile, the honest ones will never lack, cause-
God will to their needs attend.
