The Letter (with apologies to the Box Tops)

Here's the latest hit from Padre Mickey's Dance Party:

Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane,
Ain't got time to take a fast train.
Goin' to Nigeria, or maybe it's Virginia,
'Cause some bishop just a-wrote me a letter.

I don't care how much money I gotta spend,
Gots to get away from them gays again
Goin' to Nigeria, or maybe it's Virginia,
'Cause some bishop just a-wrote me a letter.

Well, he wrote me a letter
Said I couldn't live with dem heretics no mo'.
Listen mister can't you see I got to get back
To dem Donatists once a-mo'--anyway...

Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane,
Ain't got time to take a fast train.
Goin' to Nigeria, or maybe it's Virginia,
'Cause some bishop just a-wrote me a letter.

Well, he wrote me a letter
Said I couldn't depend on the Creeds no mo'.
Instead it's got ta be an unequivocal acceptance
and commitment to letters "a" through "h", ohhh--anyway


Spoken
a. The Authority and Supremacy of Scripture.
b. The Doctrine of the Trinity

From Now On!!!! YEAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane,
Ain't got time to take a fast train.
Goin' to Nigeria, or maybe it's Virginia,
'Cause some bishop just a-wrote me a letter.
Yeah, some bishop just a-wrote me a letter
Yeah, some bishop just a-wrote me a letter.

I tried to entice the musicians to come over to Jake's place, but it seems they prefer their own digs. Something to do with the acoustics. So make your way over to the Dance Party and pay your respects.

Oh, btw, regarding the Windsor bishops sacrificing chickens to Vishnu at Camp Allen; I've discovered that to be an unfounded rumour, which I apologize for perpetuating.

But, I am led to believe that they did indeed dance about skyclad, although their chant was erroneously reported as "Ye'll tak' the high road an' I'll tak' yer wallet!" The correct version is believed to have been "Crivens! I kicked meself in ma ain heid!"
