Put a Straw Under Baby Lyrics
Put a straw under baby
Your good deed for the day
Put a straw under baby
Keep the splinters away.
Let the corridors echo
As the dark places grow
Hear superior's footsteps
On the landing below.
There's a place in the orchard
Where no one dare go
The last nun who went there
Turned into a crow.
Turned into a crow-crow
Turned into a crow
The last nun who went there
Turned into a crow.
There's a brain in the table
There's a heart in the chair
And they all live in Jesus
It's a family affair.
Your good deed for the day
Put a straw under baby
Keep the splinters away.
Let the corridors echo
As the dark places grow
Hear superior's footsteps
On the landing below.
There's a place in the orchard
Where no one dare go
The last nun who went there
Turned into a crow.
Turned into a crow-crow
Turned into a crow
The last nun who went there
Turned into a crow.
There's a brain in the table
There's a heart in the chair
And they all live in Jesus
It's a family affair.

Imagine a young girl in a convent. She is overwhelmed by the magic of the place. Nuns tell her stories. She prepares the nativity scene by putting a straw under baby. The place is permeated by the organs of Christ. It's a family affair.
Imagine a young girl in a convent. She is overwhelmed by the dark, sinister undertones of the place. Nuns tell her disturbing stories. She is confused about preparing the nativity scene and thinks putting the straw under baby is her good deed for the day. The place is permeated by strangely incomprehensible teachings. It's a family affair.

oowawa gets most of it. It is an indictment/critique of Christianity.
