About time you re-posted the full set of lyrics to "Torquemada's Band," for the enlightenment of girl shortstop, BTW.

Ooooh, I dig gettin' educated.  ;-)

To do justice to "Torquemada's Band", I will wait until my wife returns from Rockford this afternoon. I remember some but not all of the lyrics.

TORQUEMADA'S BAND (Tune is that of MacNamara's Band):

O, me name is Torquemada.

I'm the leader of the band.

Although, we're few in numbers,

We're feared throughout the land.

We tortures Moors and Atheists

And kicks them when they fall,

But when we works on heretics,

We works the best of all.

O, the rack goes "creak",

And the thumbscrews squeak,

And the Whips all flail away.

The Jesuit slams the iron maiden shut,

While I kneels in the corner to pray.

The auto-da-fe is God's chosen way

To purge sin from the land!

Another soul to heaven from Torquemada's and!

Refrain:

Yadadada, dadadadada

Yadadada, dadadada

Yadadada, dadadadada!

Another soul to heaven from Torquemada's Band!

ENJOY!
