| | The Vatican Rag Lyrics Artist(Band):Tom Lehrer
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!

Review about The Vatican Rag Pre-Vatican 2 - yep, dem days is dese days! | Reviewer: Chrys | 3/20/2006 It's astounding how much we forget... as those of us who were children during Vatican 2 remember, Catholicism really did used to be like this. And it's getting more and more like this today! I'm in Florida, near where they are building Ave Maria University, and so many of the kids are filled with self-righteous indignation over slight variations from the GIRM that it would be funny if it weren't so sad. They're learning Latin in school instead of the Spanish that would help us in ministry. Sigh. One cannot serve both God and Mammon, but we have excellent people in Collier County who are adept at relieving those who are burdened by the wealth entrusted to them by the bounty of God! More sighs... the next agenda item they have for the poor guy who founded Domino's Pizza is putting together yet another bank, if you can believe it. Ave Maria, guess it's good to see ya! Is this review helpful to you? Yes No Vatican Rag, take me away | Reviewer: Sheri Wenzel | 9/13/2004 Oh, my Gosh!!! I can't believe I found this entry on the internet. I haven't heard (or seen, in this case) this song in thirty years - however, as a Catholic, who married a Lutheran, this song has history. My uncle (catholic) played this for my soon-to-be Lutheran husband back in the mid seventies. They were hosting a bar shower for us. So Catholic, I know. My husband still doesn't understand that a basket of Cheer is not the result of a trip to grocery story down the laundry detergent aisle. DUH!!!!! I had forgotten most of the great lyrics to this song but is was something we talked about alot because when my uncle played it, we all laughed until there were no more tears left. Mind you, it was a room of 58 Catholics and 1 Lutheran. I know you can relate!! Thanks for taking me down a fabulous memory lane. I didn't think that there was anyone left in the world that still remembered this song - or cared!!!!!. Is this review helpful to you?
