The Lyrics
I'm resubmitting this because I screwed up the first time
Pope'll cry and I'll bow down
(Talking 'bout my veneration)
Just because he's got a crown
(Talking 'bout my veneration)
Nuns like me are getting old
(Talking 'bout degeneration)
Young ones are leaving the fold
(Talking 'bout their emigration)
This is my veneration
This is my veneration, ladies.
Even priests fading away
(Talkin' 'bout the venereal ones)
They might like to get a legal lay
(Maybe do some generation)
I still believe in transubstantiation
(Not really reincarnation)
But I'm in the older generation.
(Could have been predestination)
This is my veneration
This is my veneration, ladies.
Throwing all that faith away
(Takin' 'bout renunciation)
No longer dig an Agnus Dei
(Takin' 'bout renunciation)
It's not that they've got a case of censer-shun
(They're tired of stained fenestration)
They're just balking at all that genuflection
(And the bouts of penetration)
This is my veneration
This is my veneration, ladies.
Pope'll try to keep 'em 'round
(By talkin' up no salvation)
Tell them they'll go underground
(Where they'll find a conflagration)
It's the opposite of cold
(It's got no refrigeration)
Pope, high guy, can be quite a scold
(Talkin' excommunication)
This is my veneration
This is my veneration, ladies.
(Talking 'bout my veneration)
Just because he's got a crown
(Talking 'bout my veneration)
Nuns like me are getting old
(Talking 'bout degeneration)
Young ones are leaving the fold
(Talking 'bout their emigration)
This is my veneration
This is my veneration, ladies.
Even priests fading away
(Talkin' 'bout the venereal ones)
They might like to get a legal lay
(Maybe do some generation)
I still believe in transubstantiation
(Not really reincarnation)
But I'm in the older generation.
(Could have been predestination)
This is my veneration
This is my veneration, ladies.
Throwing all that faith away
(Takin' 'bout renunciation)
No longer dig an Agnus Dei
(Takin' 'bout renunciation)
It's not that they've got a case of censer-shun
(They're tired of stained fenestration)
They're just balking at all that genuflection
(And the bouts of penetration)
This is my veneration
This is my veneration, ladies.
Pope'll try to keep 'em 'round
(By talkin' up no salvation)
Tell them they'll go underground
(Where they'll find a conflagration)
It's the opposite of cold
(It's got no refrigeration)
Pope, high guy, can be quite a scold
(Talkin' excommunication)
This is my veneration
This is my veneration, ladies.
