Father Father bless me
I bear a burden of sin
sin a heavy block of tin
pray God thee
I need break free
from the evil bondage
I've in been from early age
Father I'm the little mouse
a squatter in the mission house
My heart is full of mischief
I'm that wanted thief
who operates in the sacristy
Eating the communion pastry
and never the wine—none with
you shares
But you waste time to punish
the innocent postulants
for this act deemed devilish
So implore God to graciously
grant
my confessional wish
The postulants clean the
chapel
floor-pew-santuary clean
I cause the daily trouble
of spreading, litter, nuts and
beans
on the holy floor
and yet you spark up your rage
on the postulants for act of
sacrilege
I surrender all
my iniquity
and and my ungodly duty
I surrender all
So plead God to reverse any
curse
that must on my head befall
What reparation
or recitation must I do?
so I can go to the postulants to
apologize
for stealing the communion
wafer
and putting the chapel in scatter
for them to in your hands suffer
But should I tell them you
drink the wine too?
