sung to the tune of "The Vatican Rag" by Tom Lehrer
First you get down on your kneesAsk that Immie, "Pretty please
Do not send your soul to heck,
don't chop the neck, chop the neck, chop the neck."
Take whatever steps you're thinking
To avoid the loss of quick'ning
Ev'rybody just for fun,
Try to be the only one,
Doin' the Quickening Rag.
Here's a trick that's sure original
Step into a church confessional
There the guy who's dressed in leather will
Tell you 'you can't win' so whether he'll
take you now, what does it matter?
Have your head upon a platter.
Two, Four, six, eight
Watchers think the game is great !
So get down upon your knees
Ask that Immie, "Pretty please
Do not send your soul to heck,
don't chop the neck, chop the neck, chop the neck."
Take a slash 'cross your abdomen,
This was how they killed the Romans.
Parry the thrust for
Living is a must for
Gettin' ecstatic and sorta dramatic an
Doin' the Quickining Rag.
