Go spread the word around boys spread the word around
Take it to the mountain top
Take it into town
You may not sing the perfect song
Or preach like billy gram
But as a member of the chosen few
You gotta spread the word around
Papa said now come here boy
And tell me what took place
If you go down there on your own
Or was someone in your face
Cause if you went down to that altar boy
Just to please a friend
There's a pretty good chance it didn't take
And you ain't born again
But if you feel within your soul
You've got it through and through
Come stand before me now boy
And I'll tell you what to do you go
You've won the chosen few award
Go spread the word around
Go spread the word around boys spread the word around
Take it to the mountain top
Take it into town
You may not sing the perfect song
Or preach like billy graham
But as a member of the chosen few
You gotta spread the word around
So spread the word around boys spread the word around
Take it to the mountain top
And take it into town
You may not sing the perfect song
Or preach like billy ground
But as a member of the chosen few
You gotta spread the word around around
Go spread the word around boys spread the word around
Take it to the mountain top
Take it into town
You may not sing the perfect song
Or preach like billy grand
But as a member of the chosen few
You gotta spread the word around around
