There is one song from the Kingdom Melody that is a blatant rip-off of Queens "Lazying on a Sunday Afternoon". Which one was it and who has the lyrics?
Which Kingdom Melody was it?

Most of the songs in the "new" (84?) song book came from the 60's song book. And there was probably a song book before that that the 60's songs came from.
So who "borrowed" from who? And wasn't it the Kinks that did it?

Wow! Someone else who has heard "Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon!" Great song even though it's quite short.

Don't you just miss singing "from house to house, from door to door?"

Ugh. That's the one.
How about ...
As Je-ho-vah's peo-ple sound thru-out the earth Truths a-bout the
King-dom, of such price-less worth. The-o-cra-tic or-der
they must all o-bey. And re-main u-ni-ted, loy-al-ty dis-play.
Loy-al sub-miss-ion in rec-og-ni-tion , This to our God we owe
He gives pro-tec-tion ten-der aff-ec-tion, Loy-al-ty to him we show.

Men make gods of wood and stone
But the true one they've not known
....We're Jehovah's witnesses
And now my version:
We make gods of pulp and print
but of truth we have no hint
Such is our Jehovah
Demon god of old
Other gods are deaf and dumb
Ours is blind as well you see. . .
We're Jehovah's witlesses
We speak out in mindlessness
Ours is the god of false prophecy
What he foretells comes to naught
