Lyrics
now parrish was born on a summer's morn, high up on salisbury plain, his parents were surprised when he opened his eyes, and said how do you do parrish is my name, he started in school breaking every rule, violence was his only relief, for someone so small, to burn down the school hall, was to him an education that just, couldn't be beat, throughout every, week of every half a year, throughout every month of every day, at the age of thirteen, when most boys should still be green, his experience with women was to say the least great, the best way to describe him in later life, is to go back to where it began, while abducting a nun, he had suddenly become, converted from a sinner to a, godfearing man, throughout every week of every half a year, throughout every month of every day, if he gets to be pope, and who's to say he has no hope, there'll be one hell of a party down, salisbury way, incredible though it sounds he still astounds, all those who hear him speak, the man they, used to call, the biggest villain of them all, former child delinquent now a good, parish priest
