The Great Apes Ate Grapes

As I was about to receive communion
And you received my communication from Western Union
You wondered, "What is it that we know?"
The great apes ate grapes
Now there be no wine for the priest next Sunday
Now there be no vino

The congregation threw coins without making wishes
Some of them landed in the holy water dishes
The apes saved them up, they didn't spend any
Whеn you're locked behind bars, you can savе every penny
Nothing can buy freedom and buy their salvation
Their mouths holy water with holy salivation
The priests all spoke out in righteous indignation
"There'll be Hell and damnation throughout the whole damn nation!"

You'd be hard-pressed to find a priest
Except at times when you need him the least
Then, at times when you need him the most
He'll be drinking the wine and eating the Host
His guest, I guess, would have nothing to boast
When he's eating good cracker and drinking a toast
