Introducing . . .
The St Louis Jesuits: Singin’ da Blues!
America’s favorite portly white Jesuit singing group turns its compassionate eyes to The Black Experience!
Experience the misery, suffering, and courage reflected in America’s uniquely black music, as filtered through the toe-tapping, down home populist rhythms of these wildly popular jinglemeisters for Jesus!
You’ll never experience the blues the same way again!

Hey, maybe they can go on tour with the Village People…..
Sing to the tune of YMCA…
“Young man,
You’re lookin’ real fine
I said
Young man,
Won’t you give me some time,
I said
Young man,
I’m a gay musician,
And I work – for – the – church – you – know.
(Everybody sing)
It’s great to be
Catholic and Gay!
It’s great to be both Catholic and gay, hey,
And our bishops don’t mind
When we grab that behind,
‘cuz that’s what we have them for..
(chorus again)
With apologies to the Village People…
Faithful, there’s a lot to enjoy.
I said Faithful, there’s a chance to employ
All your talents, and I know you’ll feel great
Standing up there in the sanctuary.
Ladies, the equality’s yours,
In the pulpit—just sign up for the tour
Read the Scriptures to the folks in the pew
Like the fella in the chasuble.
It’s great to be in the New RC Church
It’s great to be in the New RC Church
You can get yourself fed you can get yourself wed
And you can pick and choose what to believe.
It’s great to be in the New RC Church
It’s great to be in the New RC Church
The confession line’s gone the Communion line’s long
And the party’s always in full swing.
Carrie, that beats mine to death! Excellent!
Where are you Lord?
Where’d they hide you?
I don’t know if you are here at all!
Are you hidden,
Among those banners,
Or behind that baptismal waterfall?
Are they ashamed Lord,
Of your Presence,
That they hide you from your people’s sight?
All I know Lord,
Is ‘fore next Sunday,
I will find a church that treats you right!!
