“The Vatican Rag”

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!

-Tom Lehrer

As far as I can see the remark was made in jest, and I naively thought it was serious. Sorry for the error. God bless you in any case in all cases.

Since Cardinal Dolan is the head of the US Bishops who Bill O’Reilly said never said anything about Caroline Kennedy’s pro-abortion speech at the Democratic Convention,I would say that Cardinal Dolan is proving to be a better jokester than a leader of the Bishops.
