SONG OF RELIGIOUS JEST
BLESS THEM ALL, BLESS THEM ALL, BLESS THEM ALL.
THE SHORT, THE FAT, AND THE TALL.
BLESS ALL OF OUR TEACHERS, ESPECIALLY THE ONES
WHO TALKED US ALL INTO BECOMING NUNS.
FOR WE'RE GOING TO ANSWER THE CALL
WE'RE SAYING GOOD-BYE TO IT ALL
GOOD-BYE TO THE LIPSTICK AND ALL OF THE JOYS
GOOD-BYE TO THE SAILORS AND ALL OF THE BOYS.
FOR WE'RE ENTERING THE CONVENT TODAY.
FOR ALL YOU SINNERS WE'LL PRAY
YOU'LL CURSE AND YOU'LL SWEAR
BUT WE'LL BE SAFE WHERE
THEY WEAR BLACK STOCKINGS
AND SHAVE OFF THEIR HAIR.
