On the Papal Mass in Washington DC

Tune: Be Not Afraid

When the pope came to America
Went to Washington DC
He had multi-culture forced on him,
music of profanity.
Have they never read a word he wrote
Or heard what he has said?
Have they more authority than he?

Refrain:
Rules be obeyed!
Can’t we have reverent music?
Come, learn some chant
It’s not as though you can’t.

When Communion sounded so profane
I did not think it was odd
that I craved a Margarita when
I should have prayed to God.
If inebriation’s sober, then it should not sound like this.
Lex orandi, lex credendi’s true!

You shall chant the Pater Noster
And the walls will not fall down
You’ll have reverence in the liturgy and never see a clown
You will learn to sing the Credo and you’ll not burst into flames
You will sing the music of the Church

Blessed are the ones who see the church as unity.
Jesus never prayed we celebrate diversity!
Latin’s how we speak in foreign lands
So all will understand
Many though we are, we sing as one.

Tune: Holy, Holy from "Mass of Creation"

If we'd only, on-ly sung
hymns in Latin, Mass with chant
half of the time we've sung all that Haugen,
We all could sing the Sanctus!
Blessed are they who give pride of place to the chant.
They all can sing the Sanctus,
They all can sing the Sanc---tus!
