I was at the zoo, St. Peter was at the gates
He had been demoted 'cause one day he woke up late
The first cage I saw held wild and savage beasts
Peter said to me, "Please don't feed the priests
They have the thirst that can't be quenched
The thirst that can't be quenched
Cursed for eternity
With the thirst that can't be quenched"
Jesus said to Mary, "There's money to be earned
These people need a saviour and some lessons to be learned
No you can be healed for less than half the cost
And book your seats now for my heath upon the cross
You have the thirst that can't be quenched
The thirst that can't be quenched
Cursed for eternity
With the thirst that can't be quenched"
The Pope was dying on his gold and feather bed
His last wish was to give the Baby Jesus head
The Cardinals tossed his corpse out in the mud
Then slit his throat and got drunk on his blood
They have the thirst that can't be quenched
The thirst that can't be quenched
Cursed for eternity
With the thirst that can't be quenched
