Here's a st ory of an h onest man losi ng religion,
Climbing the pulpit steps before an eager congregation,
The while praying came a wicked inspiration,
Brothers, sisters this is what he said :
Dearly be loved, dearly bel oved, dearly belo ved,
(Make no mistake, despite our traits, I've seldom seen evidence of genes)
I can't rel ate to you, I can't relat e to you !
He was the kind of guy who'd always go right out of his way,
But more before that crazy notion leapt right into his head,
And stubbornly crept into every mad perception,
I can't deny a funny feeling when he said :
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved,
I can't relate to you, I can't relate to you !
Dearest in m emoriam - set ph asers to stun
And grab yourself a nei ghbors'skeleton to lean upon,
Did you know him in life - one filled with regret,
So soon we all forget - we ever met,
Do you know my name - sin g a light Refrain
For a man estranged - I w on't den y that I'm inclined to i solate
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved,
I can't relate to you, I can't relate to you !
I can't relate to you, I can't relate to you, I can't relate to you
