Praying Hands Lyrics

you got your left hand
you got your right hand

you got your left hand
you got your right hand

the left hand's 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 minded

OK, relax
and assume the position
go into doggie submission

wash your hands three times a day

always do what your mommy does say

brush your teeth or they'll fall away

wash your hands three times a day

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.

@Philemon_Crowley. I would say this video confirms your hypothesis! https://youtu.be/3fdpoIBxguY

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).

@Z3dR00z Do you go into doggie submission when you play the guitar?

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.
