An Anglo-catholic priest I was, And daily sang Venite. Each morning I said daily mass, A proper celebration, And heard confessions young and old From all my congregation. And this is true, I do insist Until my Dying Day, Sir. Archbishops, they may come and go, But I am the Rector to stay, Sir! When Donald Coggan came along, I put away my missals. I learned to read in Hebrew text, And preached from Paul’s epistles. An evangelical I became, In cassock, scarf and surplice, Removing candles from the church, And shouting in the service. And this is true, I do insist Until my Dying Day, Sir. Archbishops, they may come and go, But I am the Rector to stay, Sir! The day of Robert Runcie dawned, So back to genuflexion. The ASB sat on my desk, But I had lost direction. To while away my parish days, I bred some pigs, how stupid! I formed a social action group, And re-read works by Cupitt. And this is true, I do insist Until my Dying Day, Sir. Archbishops, they may come and go, But I am the Rector to stay, Sir! George Carey came upon the scene, And I felt quite enlightened. The modernizing mood I had, Would keep the choir frightened. The Decade would expand the Church, And keep the numbers growing, But half-way through it seemed to me, That most of them were going. And this is true, I do insist Until my Dying Day, Sir. Archbishops, they may come and go, But I am the Rector to stay, Sir! Now Rowan sits upon the throne, Confusion surely reigneth. He uses length discourses Which simple means obscureth Yet Common Worship is our tome; We cut and paste so gaily, So high and low with one accord, Can praise th’Almighty daily. And this is true, I do insist Until my Dying Day, Sir. Archbishops, they may come and go, But I am the Rector to stay, Sir!
