Stripper Vicar Lyrics - Singles - Mansun

Dear Mavis, I'm compelled to write this letter 

In the hope that you may soon be getting better 

I've a feeling you should go and see a doctor 

If you haven't then you know you really oughta 

I was worried so I went to see the vicar 

But before I could confess 

He first confessed to be a stripper 

Dear Mavis, it was very strange to see him 

So I thought I'd write and ask for your opinion 

Should I grass on him, report him to the cardinal 

Or whether I should egg him on to turn professional 

If I dob on him they'll call him plastic scouser 

But the only thing the stripper vicar wears 

Is plastic trousers 

Mavis' opinion is all we really seek 

Mavis' opinion is all we 

Should we lie, while he's still alive 

Should we lie, while he's still alive 

'Cause when the vicar strips he gets away with it 

Dear Mavis, thought I'd follow up my letter 

Drop a line about the fate of our poor vicar 

Very tragically his time on earth is ended 

Found him gagged and bound in stockings and suspenders 

Dear Mavis, if you tell us what your thoughts are 

And I hope that they're not biased 

'Cause you are the vicar's daughter 

Mavis' opinion is all we really seek 

Mavis' opinion is all we 

Should we lie now that he has died 

Should we lie now that he has died 

'Cause when the vicar strips he gets away with it 

And we know him as our vicar 

And by night a part time stripper 

And the vicar got suspended 

In his stockings and suspenders 

And he's making wine from water 

While he dresses like his daughter 

And we know that he's a rip off 

'Cause we've seen him with his kit off 

Should we lie now that he has died 

Should we lie now that he has died 

'Cause when the vicar strips he gets away with it
