The Lyrics

CHORUS:
They bang their heads unduly,
They bang they heads and cry.
Flagellants are quite screwy,
Stop just before they die.

Their energy is mountin',
They should get a life.
Here comes a red fountain,
Each slashed with his knife.

CHORUS

They take the world's sorrow
On as its proxy.
Even though they're crazy,
They have got moxie.

CHORUS

Here one who must borrow
Whips from you and me.
He left his at a rally
For self-abasement trainees.

John--seems to me you have a whole lot of energy, yourself, writing all the parodies you do.

One of my older brothers could play Tom Dooley on one of those little toy pianos when he was a kid
