| Parody Song Title: | "Sacristy In The Dark" |
| Parody Written by: | Leo Keough |
Sacristy, in the dark
We're drinkin' from the vino supply
Altar boys, on a lark
And thinkin' it'll never run dry
Pastor's absent, deacon's napping
A nun's swilling rice tea
Singing a Latin song
Light red Tokay, sweet vin rose
Can we swig it? (That's our plan)
And there are cases of some port wine
And Burgundy
The Mother preys like a shark
She's slinkin' from the convent to spy
An old and gray matriarch
She thinks she's on to something awry
Peeking, stalking, feeling wily
The choir's playing Mozart
And singing in the hall
Muscatel and Haute Sauterne
Can she sniff it? (Yes, she can)
And we've been wasted such a long time
Hell to pay
Slow motion trial, Roman collars on display
Beyond damned, aisles jammed, ignoring what we say
Inquisition, all are so cross
We are still sauced
Oh, no, no
Saturdays, in the yard
Every day, a chore to despise
Saturdays, nuns on guard
Every day, a horrid surprise
Got off easy, feeling lucky
A real education
Painless, all in all (Painless, all in all)
Not arrested, nor molested
How we dug it (Yes, we did)
But we'll be working such a long time
To repay
(yeay-ay-ya-ya-oo-oo-oo-oo...)

Nothing to "wine" about here! Great pacing, funny subject... The dark side can have 666. I'm giving you 555. I have to wonder if this is based on the author's actual experience... :)
I think it was Mogan David - not the best of wines, but it was for the altar boys - good pacing and rhyme on OS - 555
Lexcellent Leo! Too much inside info to be a complete fabrication me thinks... love the varied vocab and sly double entendre with 'cross'...
I handled the communion wine, but never tasted it until an Eastern Rite priest said mass as part of an exchange program with the Latin rite. Almost as bad as celibacy. Great take on this song.
In excelsis Leo! Title of the day.
Simply brilliant
Oh, how i could relate to that one!!!!
Absolutely brilliant depiction of Catholic school day! 555 smacks on the hand with a ruler!!!
Altar Boys on a lark . . . . Roman collars on display . . . . Ahhh, such memories of CatLicker School daze !
Excellent subs all the way through - well done
This is nun too bad. I tried this OS once - yours is so much better. I have a few Catholic parodies myself and I really enjoy this. Masterfully done, Leo. All I remember about growing up Catholic is that the nuns scared the spit out of me - so now I write stuff like "Nuns'll Get You" "Unda Da See". and "Mary Muddah - Bless Me Fatddah" Just my way of evening up the score using humor.
So, Leo, did you learn anything about bad "habits"? I'm puttin' three 5's into the "poor box".

unique concept...dug it
SOTM: Not bad, only heard the original song once but you did a good job! Nice idea 555
SOTM: This outstanding tale reminds me that I am never drinking ever. 555
SOTM - I'm "Blessed" to read this again! LOL
(SOTM-Aug-09)
Leo - See my comment above - I read it again and enjoyed it more this time - I do believe that this is habit forming.

SOTM = Sin Of The Month?
Good job on the song. You did well :)
Way to send it up to just God-forsaken Catholics!
(SOTM) Not a fan of religious parodies. Plus this one involves Catholicism, which I know next to nothing about. Erm...got nothin'.
(SOTM) Well it was written real well and all, but uh--I didn't get it. I'm sorry, it's nothing personal, and if my understanding of the other comments is correct--I wish I did get it--because based on Matthias' comment I should probably like this parody, but I think it may have just gone a little over my head. . .I'm re-starting college today--first time in seven years, perhaps I need a refresher course first. . .
Some fantastic subs & rhymes (especially liked the shark/matriarch one).. didn't realize they had such a.. er.. catholic taste in wines, though: that's quite a wine list for the altar boys to be swigging.
