To the tune 'The House of the Rising Sun' made famous by The Animals.

There is a place in Italy
They call the Vatican 
And it's been the ruin of many a young life
In mo-ore ways than one

My parents were raised catholics
And took the Pope's advice
Not to use 'Condoms in case of AIDs'
Now they've both paid his price

My mother needed child care
Up stepped Father McGee
She worked hard to pay the bills
While he took care of me**

Oh parents give your children
A childhood full of fun
Teach them to think critically
And they'll shun the Vatican

They won't listen to stupid men
Whose ken of science is none
And they won't be put at risk of harm
By the men of the vatican

(repeat first verse)

** Based on real event: happened in the family of someone I knew,
