The Infant Of Prague Customized My Van Lyrics - Dead Milkmen

Saint Teresa the Sacred parted us in 1783 

Her body was found incorrupt with no sign of decay 

Saint Frances Xavier got dug up in 1975 

All the priests were really relieved when he looked like he was still alive 

Believe it or not 

Some saints don't rot 

They're bodies don't decay 

While most of us 

Just turn to dust 

Shortly after we pass away 

Saint Bernadette still looks mighty fresh though she's been dead for years 

Her cheeks still have a pinkish hue and there's colour in her ears 

Saint Josaphat looked like a drowned rat when they fished him out of the river 

Yet after a week he didn't even reek and that made the heathens shiver

Honest to God 

You can lay 'em in sod 

In coffins made of wood 

And when they're exhumed 

From where they're entombed 

They'll still look pretty good 

Believe it or not 

Some saints don't rot 

They're bodies don't decay 

While most of us 

Just turn to dust 

Shortly after we pass away 

Saint Andrew was flayed alive and his tongue ripped from his head 

Yet everyone who saw him agreed that he looked even better dead 

Saint Catherine Laboure is tucked away in a tiny church in Paris 

Though she looks pretty neat I'm afraid they cheated, she's filled with carbolic acid!
