spread eagle on the pew
and when i see him in that frock
my concience goes araye
i'll give him some communion wine thats
spiked with spanish fly

lead us not into temptation
deliver us from sin

and i was mary magdalene

altar boy, altar boy
confess your sins to me

inside my rectory

oh altar boy, oh altar boy
confess your sins to me
you will find the grace of god
inside my rec...
