ok, so the bible sez someplace that jesus went out,
into the wilderness and fasted 40 days and forty nights
it doesn't say why or if it helped in any way
or if, somehow it was required of him, but he did it
so, the catholic church gets wind of this and they decide
to require it, 'hey let's let people get really messed up
on mardi gras... and just when they feel like holy crap,
- we'll make them give up stuff that they really like
and not just for one day, nooo, for forty freakin' days...
- it'll make them feel like good catholics'
this whole self-denial thingy has really gone too far
- always gotta watch what we eat, not too much coffee
quit doing illegal drugs, cut back on the legal ones
- it's getting crazy
and now this, making a holiday, one that lasts 40 days,
one that you gotta quit doing what you like doing
if they are gonna make a holiday that lasts 40 days
- let it be something like national pizza lover day
but, i wanna be a good catholic, though i'm not catholic
but i wanna feel good, so i'm gunna give something up
- for 40 days
obviously it's not going to be hot fudge
no, i've decided to give up cauliflower
it'll be bad, but i think i'll feel i'm being good
- a good catholic,
oh, cauliflower and young boys too
