There are Hindus, and Mormons, and then;

A7           D
 I'm a Roman Catholic,

And I have been, since before I was born.
        E7                       A7
And the one thing they say about Catholics, is;
        E7                          A7
They'll take you, as soon as you're warm.

You don't have to have a great brain.
    E7                     A7
You don't have to have any clothes on;
         E7                      A7
You're a Catholic the moment dad came, because...
