Wonder if Tom Lehrer will write a song about it?

The Vatican Rag
By Tom Lehrer
(from "Too Many Songs by Tom Lehrer", Pantheon Books)

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,
Ev'rybody 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!

A secular ruler, just like the good ol' days.
