The diocesan bureaucracy for every single See That garners all their pennies from the likes of you and me; The crass renewal programmes which cost parishes the earth And the Catholic "Intellectuals" who doubt the Virgin Birth And the sanctuary re-orderers who hide the Eucharist. They'd none of 'em be missed! They'd none of 'em be missed! (Refrain: You may put 'em on the list...) The composers and librettists of a thousand awful hymns - We've got 'em on the list, we've got 'em on the list - The episcopal ordinary indulging all his whims - He never would be missed; he never would be missed. The highly paid youth worker who knows nothing about youth, Who sits on four committees and is too long in the tooth, The well-connected journalist who spouts 'progressive' views And the feminist dissenter who is always in the news. And that universal irritant, the layman liturgist We've got 'em on the list, we've got 'em on the list (Refrain: We've got 'em on the list, we've got 'em on the list...) The welcoming committee who shove hymn books in your face - We've got 'em on the list, we've got 'em on the list - Fr Ad Lib, Fr Make-it-up and others of his race They never would be missed; they never would be missed. The self-important music group who lead you from the front The ugly new cathedral where you fall into the font The kind of clergy jollies costing 20,000 quid Which produce a "Vision Statement" in an hotel near Madrid And Sister Mary Trousersuit, the trendy catechist I'm sure she'll not be missed - I'm sure she'll not be missed! (Refrain: You may put 'em on the list...) Thanks to Monstrous Regiment of Women and Mulier Fortis The latter has a video if you've forgotten the G&S tune

He has disappeared from political view. Yes John but Lilley's attempt was crude and tasteless and quite lacking in any artistic merit! KatyA's effort is simply wonderful! WELL DONE KATYA!
