1. First you get down on your knees,
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 playin' 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!

2. Just make sure it doesn't stick to the roof of your mouth.

when I was a kid, it was the priest that fed you the waffer, I would watch to see how many people when walking away stuck their finger in their mouths to scrape it off the roof. LOL Always cracked me up.

14. Heh! Yeah, I remember that too; my giggles really pissed off my mom
but I once caught even my church elder dad stifling a giggle at the sight.

6. "First you get down on your knees...."
"fiddle with your ro sa ries,
Bow your head with great respect and
Genuflect genuflect genuflect.

"When in doubt try playing it safer,
drink the wine and chew the wafer,
two-four-six-eight-
time to tran-substantiate!"

--Tom Lehrer, The Vatican Rag

I recommend "intinction" so you don't have to lip lock any beverage rim no matter how well wiped.

Best-
