The Vatican Rag lyrics

Lyrics

First you get down on your knees
Fiddle with your rosaries
Bow your head with 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, the 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!

So get down upon your knees
Fiddle with your rosaries
Bow your head with great respect
And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!

Make a cross on your abdomen
When in rome do like a roman
Ave maria
Gee it's good to see ya
Gettin' ecstatic an'
Sorta dramatic an'
Doin' the vatican rag!
