Leavin ECUSA
(to the tune of Sloop John B, with apologies to the Beach Boys )
My whole family and me,
Worshipped with the COE,
Genuflectin away
And scoffin at Rome.
We didnt know
Just how quick we would go.
Ahh, this church is so broke up,
I cant call it my home.
At first, things didnt seem big
And I didnt wanna sound like a prig,
So I kept all my doubts to myself
And I just went along.
I didnt mind women priests,
Just couldnt care in the least,
Well just take the collections
And keep on singin our songs.
Then all the powers that be
Started dissin the Great Trinity.
They even called into question
Christs duh-vin-i-ty.
No objections came up
From the local Bishop.
And we found ourselves wonderin,
How can such things be?
I saw their Druid Eucharist.
Saw they marched with abortionists.
Saw how they went and made holy
A-dull-teh-ree.
Time to take down the flag
When the bishops wear drag.
I think Im now ready
For some new scenery.
We dont need to be glum;
Can go join the Continuum,
Or we can find us some shelter
Neath a Maronite dome.
Try a mass Tridentine,
Check out things Byzantine,
But this church is so broke up,
Were gonna find a new home.
My apologies; perhaps Id best stick with the day job.
It's actually pretty good! Not that familiar with the tune so I can tell if your new words fit "ok", but just as a "poem" it is good, if sad.
Good luck to you in your search for holy truth, I'm taking the liberty of pinging the FR king of parodys to your lyrics, I'm sure he'll give you good advice, if he thinks it's needed.
LOL! Saw this on my blog-rounds yesterday, but had reached my ping limit and so noted it for today. You've spared me the effort of posting -- thanks!
You probably know it, you just don't know you do.
Words fit the tune pretty well!
