There is a vicar from Chelsea Who alas is not very wealthy Often he dines on communion wine And curried bat from the belfry
He lights a lot of incense To hide his flatulence He gets a bit high Perhaps that is why His sermons never make sense
--The vicar gets his knickers in a twist--
The old church roof had seen better days The pressing need was a serious fund-raise So the vicar abseiled down the tower As the village watched by the graves and flowers
With a flurry his cassock flew up in the air Shocking pink he wore under there Flapping around it covered his face As he dangled there in embarrassed disgrace
Someone called the fire brigade A turntable ladder came to his aid When at last they got him down Humbled and grateful he kissed the ground
