Praying Hands

The song's lyrics are wrong, it should be:

you got your left hand you got your right hand you got your left hand you got your right hand

With the left hand diddling while the right hand goes to work I said the left hand's diddling, now while the right hand goes to work

you got both hands you got both hands you got praying hands you got praying hands

they pray for no man they pray for no man o.k....relax... assume the position go into doggie submission

wash your hands three times a day always do what your mother did say brush your teeth in the following way wash your hands three times a day

you got your left hand you got your right hand you got your left hand you got your right hand

With the left hand diddling while the right hand goes to work I said the left hand's diddling, now while the right hand goes to work

you got both hands you got both hands you got praying hands you got praying hands

they pray for no man they pray for no man

(roll over, play dead) (get spiritual enlightenment)

o.k....relax... assume the position go into doggie submission

wash your hands three times a day always do what your mother did say brush your teeth in the following way wash your hands three times a day

And the song's about masterbation. Easy as that.

Song could also be about playing music. On a guitar your left hands didling (playing with the chord progressions) While your right hand goes to work (plucking the strings, repetitively).

I thought the song was about being another religious follower by bowing down to your God. You can also receive spiritual enlightenment after masturbation as well.
