“Every Sperm is Sacred” is a musical theatre number from Monty Python’s final film “The Meaning of Life.”. The purpose of the song is to ridicule the Catholic church’s encouragement of its members to avoid birth control, thus producing more children and indoctrinating more people into the church.

There are Jews in the world, there are Buddhists
There are Hindus and Mormons, and then
There are those that follow Mohammed, but
I've never been one of them
I'm a Roman Catholic
And have been since before I was born
And the one thing they say about Catholics is:
They'll take you as soon as you're warm
You don't have to be a six-footer
You don't have to have a great brain
You don't have to have any clothes on
You're a Catholic the moment Dad came
Because
Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is great
If a sperm is wasted
God gets quite irate
[CHILDREN]
Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is great
If a sperm is wasted
God gets quite irate
[GIRL]
Let the heathen spill theirs
On the dusty ground
God shall make them pay for
Each sperm that can't be found
[CHILDREN]
Every sperm is wanted
Every sperm is good
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood
[MUM]
Hindu, Taoist, Mormon
Spill theirs just anywhere
But God loves those who treat their
Semen with more care
[MEN]
Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is great
[WOMEN]
If a sperm is wasted
[CHILDREN]
God get quite irate
[PRIEST]
Every sperm is sacred
[BRIDE and GROOM]
Every sperm is good
[NANNIES]
Every sperm is needed
[CARDINALS]
In your neighbourhood!
[CHILDREN]
Every sperm is useful
Every sperm is fine
[FUNERAL CORTEGE]
God needs everybody's
[MOURNER #1]
Mine!
[MOURNER #2]
And mine!
[CORPSE]
And mine!
[NUN]
Let the Pagan spill theirs
O'er mountain, hill, and plain
[HOLY STATUES]
God shall strike them down for
Each sperm that's spilt in vain
[EVERYONE]
Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is good
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood
Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is great
If a sperm is wasted
God gets quite iraaaaaate!
Every Sperm Is Sacred was written by David Howman & Andre Jacquemin & Terry Jones & Michael Palin.
