He is holy and sensitive
On his wall a picture of the Lord
He smears the spots of the Bible
The evening meal - he loves to spread
He loves the boys of the choir
They hold their spirits in
But worry makes him the tenor
So he must be next to him
On his night table still and mute
A picture of the Lord
He turns so slowly
If the church clock strikes twice
Hallelujah
He will fold his hands in prayer
Hallelujah
He will remain without a wife
Hallelujah
So he will have to love his next
Hallelujah
The young man may stay with him
The sin nestles over the bone
So he helps to drive it out
With music and candlelight
If the church clock strikes twice
Hallelujah
He will fold his hands in prayer
Hallelujah
He will be without a wife
Hallelujah
So he will have to love his next
If the church clock strikes twice
Hallelujah
He takes his young to pray
Hallelujah
He is the true Christian
Hallelujah
And he knows, what charity is
Hallelujah
Turn around slowly
Turn around
On his wall a picture of the Lord
He smears the spots of the Bible
The evening meal - he loves to spread
He loves the boys of the choir
They hold their spirits in
But worry makes him the tenor
So he must be next to him
On his night table still and mute
A picture of the Lord
He turns so slowly
If the church clock strikes twice
Hallelujah
He will fold his hands in prayer
Hallelujah
He will remain without a wife
Hallelujah
So he will have to love his next
Hallelujah
The young man may stay with him
The sin nestles over the bone
So he helps to drive it out
With music and candlelight
If the church clock strikes twice
Hallelujah
He will fold his hands in prayer
Hallelujah
He will be without a wife
Hallelujah
So he will have to love his next
If the church clock strikes twice
Hallelujah
He takes his young to pray
Hallelujah
He is the true Christian
Hallelujah
And he knows, what charity is
Hallelujah
Turn around slowly
Turn around

" He is holy and very sensitive
On his wall a picture of the Lord
He wipes the stains off the Bible
He endulges in dealing out the Communion wine / nightly meal
[Abendmahl is an ambiguous word in German;
as the communion service goes back to Christ's last supper,
we still use the same word for both meanings.]
He loves the choir boys
They keep their souls clean
But the tenor makes him full of care
So he must be attending to him most
On his bedside table still and mute
A picture of the Lord
He slowly turns it round
When the church bell strikes twice
Hallelujah
He folds his hands in prayer
Hallelujah
He has remained without a wife
Hallelujah
So he will have to love his neighbour
Hallelujah
The young man may stay with him
Sin dwells above the leg
So he is pleased to help exorcizing it
With music and candlelight.
When the church bell strikes...
When the church bell strikes strikes twice
Hallelujah
He gives the boy a private sermon
Hallelujah
He is the true Christian
Hallelujah
And he knows what love thy neighbour means
Hallelujah
Turn around slowly
Turn around "
Anyway, are you sure about the meaning being of priest molestation? I could have sworn it was about The Dancing Banana (yes, THE Dancing Banana! The one of legend).
