Get in line with that processional
Head into the small confessional
There's a man who's got religion'll
Tell you if your sin's original
If it is try playin' it safer
Drink the wine and chew the wafer
Two four six eight
Time to transubstantiate!
So get down on your knees
Fiddle with your rosaries
Bow your head with great respect
And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect
Make a cross on your ab-do-men
When in Rome do like a Roman
Ave Maria, gee it's good to see ya
Gettin' dramatic and sort of ecstatic
And doin' the Vatican Rag!
