Here's the whole thing:

    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.
    Everyone say his own "kyrie eleison"
    Doin' the Vatican Rag!

    Just get into 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.
    2 - 4 - 6 - 8
    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!!!
