Lyrics & Translation

[English]

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 the blistering sight

Of a Vicar in a tutu, he's not strange

He just wants to live his life this way

A scanty bit of a thing covered with a decorative ring

Wouldn't cover the head of a goose

As Rose collects the money in a cannister

Who comes sliding down the bannister?

Vicar in a tutu, he's not strange

He just wants to live his life this way

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

The Vicar in a tutu, oh yeah

Oh yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, ah

...

The Vicar in a tutu, oh yeah

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

The next day in the pulpit with freedom and ease

Combatting ignorance, dust with disease

As Rose counts the money in the cannister

As natural as rain, he dances again and again and again

In the fabric of a tutu

Any man could get used to

And I am the living sign

And I am the living sign, I am the living sign

I'm the living sign, I am the living sign

I'm the living sign, sign, I am the living sign

...
