The
                                  Altered
                                      Boy.

                            Bless me father
                            and I'll kiss your ring,
                            join in the chorus
                            you can hear me sing.

                            The holy eucharist
                            between my lips,
                            at communion time
                            red wine in sips.

                            Then, in the belfry
                            when all alone,
                            at angelus time
                            the ropes I'm shown.

                            Off with the hats
                            and down on the knees,
                            my first lesson in life
                            on the birds and the bees.
