The Lyrics
He kneels, dressed in sack; at mass he chews it.
In deference to the club in Rome.
It's not light--an unleavened mass, he chews it,
And what he washes it down with ain't Rhône.
Wishes for sourdough from San Francisco.
Top it off with an Anchor Steam brew.
And he then like a famished Masai chews it.
Brought back from his reverie, he tastes glue.
He and the others at mass consume it.
Speak they can't, 'cause their teeth have adhered.
Try to bite through this gummy mass and lose it--
A mass of glue spit's emplaced on the priest's ear.
In deference to the club in Rome.
It's not light--an unleavened mass, he chews it,
And what he washes it down with ain't Rhône.
Wishes for sourdough from San Francisco.
Top it off with an Anchor Steam brew.
And he then like a famished Masai chews it.
Brought back from his reverie, he tastes glue.
He and the others at mass consume it.
Speak they can't, 'cause their teeth have adhered.
Try to bite through this gummy mass and lose it--
A mass of glue spit's emplaced on the priest's ear.

This Catholic boy, originally from Connecticut but now from Massachusetts, was taught by his French Canadian Catholic mother (who was born in Maine) not to chew that "mass" with his teeth. Oh well ... that was back around the time of Vatican II, so who knows now? Great job, JB.
Mass-ive!
very clever John - 555
