Tunie: The Vatican Rag

About

By Tom Lehrer, seen here.

First you get down on your knees

Fiddle with your rosaries

Bow your head in great respect and

Genuflect, genuflect, genuflect

Do whatever steps you want, if

You have cleared them with the pontiff.

Everybody say his own kyrie eleison,

Doin' the Vatican Rag.

Get in line in that processional

Step into that small confessional

There a guy who's got religion'll

Tell you if your sin's original

If it is, try playing it safer

Drink the wine and chew the wafer

Two, four, six, eight--

Time to transubstantiate

Make a cross on your abdomen

When in Rome, do like the Romans

Ave Maria--gee it's good to see ya

Gettin' ecstatic and

Sorta dramatic and

Doin' the Vatican Rag!
