Poetic Licence: The Vicar Recruitment Rap
The Church Of Scientology is launching Britain's first national TV campaign promoting a religion. Not to be outdone, the Church of England has picked a 38-year-old female vicar to front their own pounds 20,000 campaign to recruit more young people to the priesthood.
Bap-chik Baba-baba-chick
C of E its the one for me
We're talkin' 3 (feat. Trini-T.)
Your mobile soul-phone
Comes for free.
It's a Friends and Family to...
Big G.
Gimme a V. Now gimme an I.
Add a CAR to the other side
Heaven's gate is a Park `n' Ride
Who d'ya call
when your granny's died?
Vicar.
Say that name with pride
Service time and the bells go clang
It's a happenin' clappenin' kinda thang
From a warm-up prayer in the vestibule
To a chilled out church
And an ambient Yule
Though the Sno B. Deep.
And the wind B. Krool
The smell of Faith is a cool Kagoul
V. for vespers. I for an Eye.
The sermon's hot.
But the ink ain't dry
For those in peril on the C
You who would A (pilgrim be)
No R&R on the Sabbath Day
Can the dude deliver?
YES WAY!
More E vicar? Not for me
X-cept E-clesiastically
When the work comes in
Gotta make that call
"Yo! Corinthians!
Quit it." Paul.
(p.p. Father, Son
and Ghost)
The Devil's illin'
But he's toast.
Vicar. As God as it gets.
