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.
Everyone say his own «kyrie eleison»
Doin’ the Vatican Rag!
Just get into 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 playin’ it safer.
Drink the wine and chew the wafer.
2 — 4 — 6 — 8
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!!!
