Song Lyrics:

[George Carlin:] I used to be Irish Catholic, now I'm an American. You know, you grow. 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! [Spoken:] This dance craze has survived 6 Popes and 3 "Da Vinci Code" movies. But if they really REALLY want to sell the product in this atheistic age, here's some NEW dance steps they may want to try. First let women become priests, Welcome the LGBT's, Birth control you must accept, Let 'em - contracept, contracept, contracept! Vexed by some women beguilin'? Don't lock them in an asylum! Throw them all a Mass Rave, Not into a mass grave. Doin' the Vatican Rag! If you meet some folks indigenous, Let them keep their own religions-es, Share the wealth and pour the Hennessy When you decry white supremacy. Take a dance class, learn some hustlin' From a Jew or from a Muslim! Re-, -joice!, Make, noise!, Hands off all those altar boys! 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' Sometimes problematic an' Doin' the Vatican Rag! …Amen! (A-Log)
