   "It's in the Book" was a satirical record (45) by the comedian Foster Brooks   
   (I still own the record and found another one on eBay). He sang at a country   
   fair, pretending to be a minister. He told his audience to get out their   
   hymnals and began to sing "   
   Grandma's Lye Soap". And told them "it's in the book.
