The New Pope In Rome

There’s smoke in the air; it looks almost white-ish;
Papal expectations, everybody’s watching for you
The populi in St Peter’s Square, they all seem to know you
The cardinals act like you’re all infallible now

Bennie the Sixteenth, the new Pope in Rome
Everybody venerates you, ma illegitimi non carborundum

You look in the cameras; the choir begins to sing
Hopeful Roman antics, and you’re the guy in charge
But after awhile, you’re fidgetin’ in your cassock
It’s not the damn tailor’s fault you’re a medium-large

Bennie the Sixteenth, the new Pope in Rome
They all venerate you, ma illegitimi non carborundum
There’s so many heretics you could have chastised
but now you have to calm the wayward baptised,
Just hold ’em… in your papal pectorum.

The talking heads on the news, they rush to
Remind you, or doesn’t it matter
Europe’s churches are empty – they say they still need you.
You process with your mitre and crozier, they’re walking behind you
They will never forget, til some papabile succeeds you

Where you been lately? There’s a new Pope in Rome
Everybody loves him, don’t they?
What was his name, before he put on the ring
That “Ratzie” guy?
There’s a new Pope in Rome
Habeam papam!
just another new Pope in Rome
Urbi et orbi!
We’re all talkin’ German like the new Pope in Rome
There’s a new Pope in Rome
There’s a new Pope in Rome
I don’t want to hear it
There’s a Pope in Rome
I don’t want to hear it
There’s a new Pope in Rome
There’s a new Pope in Rome
There’s a new Pope in Rome
