Lyrics for " It's in the Book
Ed Green
Does any know where I can get the lyrics, music or recording for John
Stanleys song called "IT'S IN THE BOOK" The song was a satire on old
time religious revival meetings and was very well done and funny. The
songs I can remember but it's the take off on the revival part that I
want.

correct name for artist is johnny standley; recorded for capitol records
around 1952 or 53; it sold well and the original 45 or 78 still shows up
regularly amongst collectors; i don't know if it has yet been reissued on
cd--if i had to guess i would say probably so, most likely on an anthology
of comedy or 50s songs. go to a high powered record store and look in the
phonolog.

Sorry I can't be more precise, but I did see it on a Dr. Demento
collection. Maybe this info can get you on the right track, at least.

hands. It is with Horace Heidt and his Musical Knights and, I believe,
is as it was recorded on the old Horace Heidt Show on the Radio. Your
are correct about the spelling and Capitol records. Paul in Portland OR
