Clergymen Can't Waltz Lyrics

Seven sad sisters at a wedding in the summer

Each had driven hard to educate

Four were quite articulate

Two would not participate

But the girl with the long red flame in her hair

Said she would be the first generic magistrate

Now you know that clergymen can't waltz

The seminary dance is surely false

And even if there's hope among the sisters

Now you know that clergymen can't waltz

Four past summers at a funeral in the valley

The youngest of them all had died, her name was Kelly

Six were left to populate

The two at home alone would suffocate

But the woman with the long red hair wouldn't tarry

Met a farmer with a future and capacity to marry

2 children later, she the jury, she the judge

She's a controversial joker with a cosmographic grudge

Now you know that clergymen can't waltz

The seminary dance is surely false

And even if there's hope among the sisters

Now you know that clergymen can't waltz

Calvinism, dogmatism, Masonism, Darwinism

paganism, stoicism, ritual, ritual, ritualism

Anarchism, euphemism, socialism, Methodism

Barbarism, skepticism, ego, ego, ego, egotism

It's quite inconsequential

But were heading for a piece of p-pandemonium

Ooh

Now you know that clergymen can't waltz

The seminary dance is surely false

And even if there's hope among the sisters

Now you know that clergymen can't waltz
