The Lyrics
Preview of hell: "The View."
Before the time
To go meet my maker is due,
I'll be finding
Religion, binding.*
Don't think I could stand it
Down there underground. . .
Hear horrific hags screech
24/7, at thunder sound!
Preview of Hell: "The View."
Before the scythe,
I'll tithe.
I'll be new,
Say "adieu"
To Sin 2
In the pew.
And I vow:
Be fair and square,
Ban idolatry—
No sacred cow.
I hear 'em
Those piercing yells: "The View."
Repentance time!
*"religion" derives from Latin "religare," to tie, fasten.

Jay Leno said that he thought he heard a catfight outside his window, but it turned out to be somebody watching "The View".
