The Lyrics
Inspired by this story, about a Catholic priest who saw the silhouette of Pope John Paul II in a bonfire... What is it about catholics and the ability to imagine any shape or pattern as some holy bod?
This priestly bod saw a bonfire flame
Too much "God" drives a man insane
It was he reck'nd - John Paul the sec'nd
Goodness, gracious, John Paul's on fire
It were my photo, I'd say it was seemin'
Far less a pope, more a fire demon
I think you'll find - 's all in the mind
Goodness, gracious, John Paul's on fire
Was he toking? Hmm, makes sense...
Holy smoking! I gotta get me some of that incense
That pyre - some fire
But say it's the pope and you're a liar, liar, liar, liar!
I wonder what is it exactly he's done?
Without his body, could it be cremation?
That shape'll - look oh, so papal
Goodness, gracious, John Paul's on fire
Too much "God" drives a man insane
It was he reck'nd - John Paul the sec'nd
Goodness, gracious, John Paul's on fire
It were my photo, I'd say it was seemin'
Far less a pope, more a fire demon
I think you'll find - 's all in the mind
Goodness, gracious, John Paul's on fire
Was he toking? Hmm, makes sense...
Holy smoking! I gotta get me some of that incense
That pyre - some fire
But say it's the pope and you're a liar, liar, liar, liar!
I wonder what is it exactly he's done?
Without his body, could it be cremation?
That shape'll - look oh, so papal
Goodness, gracious, John Paul's on fire

I was just lighting a few farts... joke got sorta out of hand.
Funny handling of a `hot` topic and great OS choice... and LOL John Paul II's comment!
Blimey, we thought this was going to be about us. This John Paul chap gets all our bloody publicity.
Lol! Nice original idea, liked the parody...although the comments are every bit as entertaining! lol! 5-5-5 for all of them!!!
Why doesn't anybody ever light MY fire?
People have overactive imaginations. Remember the Mississippi Squirrell Revival?
My word... talk about a distinguished set of commentors... maybe it needs an extinguished set, too :-)
Thanks everyone
Thanks everyone
Holy smokes! I'm gonna say 555 Hail Marys for your immoral soul.
Funny concept and follow up...top job
wonderfully weird
I like the song and the comments. My answer to your question is that people sometimes get so worked up in their religon that it's all they see or know.
