The Croom is on fire
You're an Fupstanding model of a modern day Cain
With Dmimpeccable style
So now you've Amdone a little wrong and you Cneed to be forgiven
By the Fvicar and the company you Dmkeep

Oh but the Fdeepest of convictions are the darkest positions
Little Dmremissions for the varicose veins
So now you've Amdone a little wrong and you Cswear you didn't do it
