Came across this ditty on the House of Bishops and Deputies list (of all places) today. It is a lyric by Garrison Keillor. Sung to the tune of Ain’t Misbehavin’.
I’m slow to anger, don’t covet or lust.
No sins of pride except sometimes I really must.
Episcopalian, saving my love for you.
The theology’s easy, the liturgy too.
Just stand up and kneel down and say what the others do.
Episcopalian, saving my love for you.
I bless myself with a flick of the wrist.
You’d never know I was raised fundamentalist.
Episcopalian, saving my love for you.
There’s white folks and black, and gay and morose,
Some male Anglo Saxons but we watch them pretty close.
Episcopalian, saving my love for you.
