Verse 1

I was minding my business lifting some lead off
The roof of the Holy Name Church
It was worthwhile living a laughable life
To set my eyes on a blistering sight

Chorus

Of a vicar in a tutu, he's not strange
He just wants to live his life this way

Verse 2

A scanty bit of a thing with a decorative ring
Wouldn't cover the head of a goose
As Rose collects the money in the cannister
Who comes sliding down the bannister?

Chorus

The vicar in a tutu, he's not strange
He just wants to live his life this way

Verse 3

The monkish monsignor with a head full of plaster
Said "My man, get your vile soul dry-cleaned"
As Rose counts the money in the cannister
As natural as rain he dances again, my God

Chorus

The vicar in a tutu, oh yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Interlude

    
    

Chorus

The vicar in a tutu, oh yeah
Oh yeah... 

Verse 4

The next day in the pulpit with freedom and ease
Combatting ignorance, dust and disease
As Rose counts the money in the cannister
As natural as rain, he dances again and again and again

Chorus

In the fabric of a tutu
Any man could get used to
And I am a living sign

Outro

I'm a living sign
I am a living sign
I'm a living sign
I am a living sign
I'm a living sign, sign
I am a living sign
