[Verse 1]

First you get down on your knees

Fiddle with your rosaries

Bow your head with great respect

And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!

[Chorus]

Do whatever steps you want, if

You have cleared them with the Pontiff

Everybody say his own Kyrie eleison

Doing the Vatican Rag

[Bridge]

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!

[Verse 2]

So get down upon your knees

Fiddle with your rosaries

Bow your head with great respect

And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!

[Chorus]

Make a cross on your abdomen

When in Rome do like a Roman

Ave Maria, gee it's good to see ya

Getting ecstatic and

Sorta dramatic and

Doing the Vatican Rag!
