The Lyrics
As requested. Most requests people make of me are to NOT express myself in this way, or in any other. Please note that this song is against the choice for the new Pope, and NOT against Catholicism in general. As an old Methodist song goes, "The church is not a building... the church is a people." And, as the great Bill Veeck said, "Baseball is like religion: Great game, lousy owners."
Hey, kids, Cardinals together.
The smokestack's saying something.
That's been known to change the weather.
We'll have a pontiff tonight.
So stick around.
You're gonna hear the sacred music
from the Rome compound.
Say, I don't know why you're the guy that they get.
I think they're spaced out
B-B-B-Bennie, I confess!
Oh, the crowd cheered, thought it wonderful
but Bennie, he's really mean.
Can't fill John Paul's boots.
And that's the truth.
He's got that Popemobiling limousine.
Oh, no!
B-B-B-Bennie, I confess!
Hey, kids, plug into the faithful.
Maybe they're blinded.
And Bennie, he ain't ageless.
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
where we fight the men who are naughty priests.
Will Ben condemn them as wrong?
Oh, he's German and he's wunderbar!
That Bennie, he's really mean!
He's got inqusitors
for you and yours
I saw it in "The Nation" magazine!
Oh, no!
B-B-B-Bennie, I confess!
(instrumental break)
And now I know why you're the guy that they get.
Heretics phased out.
B-B-B-Bennie, I confess!
Oh, the crowd cheered, thought it wonderful.
His inquisition wiped me clean.
He's got the Swiss Guard brutes
in fancy suits.
I said some things I didn't really mean!
Oh, no!
B-B-B-Bennie, I confess!
Bennie! Bennie! Bennie!
Bennie, I confess!
Bennie! Bennie! Bennie!
Bennie, I confess!
Bennie! Bennie! Bennie!
Bennie, I confess!

this is the finest pope parody yet...5s plus
All that and you read The Nation, too? You so rock.
Bene. 5s
Good one..5s
And The American Prospect, Ravyn. And Mother Jones. Once in a while, I even pick up National Review to see how the other 48 percent lives.
Bennie may be mean, but he does have a sense of humor too! Any man who loves beer, cats, and Mozart ain't all bad! You probably won't do more than a hundred years in the dung pits of purgatory.
Sir Michael, this is funny . . . . Oh the woes of Catholicism! Cardinal Joseph R. please help us!
