my daddy was a prayin nine to five,
while my momma was on her knees
by the time I was only five,
I knew what I wanted to be
I went to school, and studied there
they wanted me to be respected as a lawyer
or Michael Jackson, man
(but I had other plans)

gonna be the pope, a ratzinger
gonna be the pope who goes far
gonna be the pope, a ratzinger
gonne be the pope,
the pope who goes far

I worked real hard, I got myself
my own little alter boy
I parted his hair in the middle as
I made him my little toy
now I see my hat is high,
I really jumped the queue
I got religion in my blood
tellin me what to do
( and I got big ears)

gonna be the pope, a ratzinger
gonna be the pope who goes far
gonna be the pope, a ratzinger
gonne be the pope,
the pope who goes far

well you can keep your offer plate giving
and your collar and the ties..
you can trust the catholic priesthood,
in Boston, it's a dirty lie,
and you can stick your special handshake,
and your silly old sex rules,
and all the other Sh*t
use a condom, don't be fooled..
are these guys all tools??

gonna be the pope, a ratzinger
gonna be the pope who goes far
gonna be the pope, a ratzinger
gonne be the pope,
the pope who goes far
