TITLE: The Vatican Rag
Lyrics and Chords


[ F#dim7 = ; C#dim7 =  ]

First you get down on your knees
Fiddle with your rosaries
Bow your head with great respect
And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect

/ G7 - - - / C6 - - - / G7 - - - / C C#dim7 Dm G7 /

Do whatever steps you want if
You have cleared them with the Pontiff
Everybody say his own kyrie eleison
Doin' the Vatican Rag

/ G7 - - - / C6 - - A7 / F F#dim7 C A7 / D7 G7 C - /

Get in line in that processional
Step into that small confessional
There, the guy who's got religion'll
Tell you if your sin's original

/ G7 - - - / C - - - / G7 - - - / C - - C7 /

If it is, try playin' it safer
Drink the wine and chew the wafer
Two, four, six, eight
Time to transubstantiate

/ F - - - / Fm - - - / F#dim7 - - - / G7 - - - /

So get down upon your knees
Fiddle with your rosaries
Bow your head with great respect
And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect

Make a cross on your abdomen
When in Rome do like a Roman
Ave Maria, gee it's good to see ya
Gettin' ecstatic an' sorta dramatic an'
Doin' the Vatican Rag

... / D7 G7 D7 G7 / D7 G7 C - /
