Bright Ragtime Feel

First you get down on your knees,
C6C6
Fiddle With your Roseries

Bow your head with great respect and..

Genu-flect, Genu-flect, Genu-flect!

G7G7
Do whatever steps you want if
C6C6                A7A7
you have cleared them with the pontiff

Everybody say his own Kyrie Eleison,

Doin' the Vatican Rag.

Get in line in that processional,
C majorC              C#dimC#dim
Step into that small confessional,

C majorC              G7G7
tell you if your sins original.

If it is, try playin' it safer,

Drink the wine and chew the wafer.

Time to transubstantiate.
