Let Us Pray

O Lord, please don't burn us.
Don't grill or toast Your flock.
Don't put us on the barbecue
Or simmer us in stock.
Don't braise or bake or boil us
Or stir-fry us in a wok.
Oh, please don't lightly poach us
Or baste us with hot fat.
Don't fricassee or roast us
Or boil us in a vat,
And please don't stick Thy servants, Lord,
In a Rotissomat.

From Monty Python's The Meaning of Life

  1. Haha, I remember that scene in the movie. The lyrics is hilarious enough, but in the movie it's sung by prepubescent choir boys!
