FROM

Series 10 Episode 5

LYRICS:

The Pope is a guy God thinks is fine

He's also a real good friend of mine

Defender of the Faith, he calls me

Cos I'm such a great Catholic - see?

Then I got bored of Catherine

And I wanted to marry Anne

Then the Pope said cos I'm Catholic

I gotta be a one-woman man

So no, I don't want no pope

The pope is a guy that can't get no love from me

Gonna split from the Catholics

Now the head of the English Church... is me

Then brother Eddie perished

And now the country's mine

And cos I was brought up Catholic

I'll change it back one more time

Cos oh, how I love the Pope

The Pope is the guy who reps my God for me

And if you don't agree that's totally fine

I'll just burn you for hersey

Now Mary died, the country's mine

How will we pray, I must decide

Born Protestant, raised with Catholics

I really can see both sides

Sure, if I trash the Catholics

Then the whole Church is mine

And if they don't obey me

I'll charge them a hefty fine

So no, I don't want no pope

The English Church should all be about me

Head of Church and state

That sounds great, call it Act of Supremacy

I don't want no pope

No, sorry

But what will happen

After me...?
