VATICAN RAG

(Tom Lehrer)



First get down on your knees

Fiddle with your rosary beads

Bow your head with great respect

Then genuflect, genuflect, genuflect



Do most any step you want if

You have cleared it with the Pontiff

Everybody say his own

Kyrie Elieson



Get into that small confessional

Step in line in that processional

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



Make a cross on your abdomen

When in Rome do like a Roman

Ave Maria,

Gee, it's good to see you

Doing the Vatican Rag
