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...?
