St John of the Cross

St John speaks friendly to Teresa

"Those Roman Catholics

Think they're fantastic"

And Mickie P moves into TV

He'll be the H-Bomb

In English sitcom

In '36 the crux gemmata

Became more hardcore;

It was a fashion show

The Early Christian guys walked softly;

It was a disguise

From Roman eyes

And we say

"Don't think

Don't ask

Everything you need

You'll find it in a hip flask"

We cut to Spain, young St Teresa

A burning arrow of love

From God saying

"Let's get tough!"

Oh Lord preserve us from those Catholics

They've got the stupidest nuns

And the most humourless saints

Bar none!

But De la Cruz faced Torquemada

He was more hardcore

But they got him on the floor, so

Through persecution, then seclusion

And alogia

He whispered, "see ya"

And we say

"Don't think

Don't ask

Everything you need

You'll find it in a hip flask"

Yeah! "Everything you need

You'll find it in a hip flask"
