Once was a lowly Carmelite
Father Gabriel the Old
He promised Anna Dunzinger
She'd get a brandnew soul
Yay yay yay, Yay yay yay
He promised Anna Dunzinger
She'd get a brandnew soul
2
And Anna was a lassie
Still young and so lovely
And her first time at confession
Down at the monastery
Yay yay yay, Yay yay yay
And her first time at confession
Down at the monastery
3
He spoke to her "Dear Annie"
Step in, oh gentle soul
And say all thy confession
In this somber room alone
Yay yay yay, Yay yay yay
And say all thy confession
In this somber room alone
4
Oh Annie be a good girl
Kneel down now on the floor
Prepare thyself prepair thyself
For to receive our Lord
Yay yay yay, Yay yay yay
Prepare thyself prepair thyself
For to receive our Lord
5
In the confession chamber
He put her on his lap
And Anna she spoke to herself
'Confession's but a snap'
Yay yay yay, Yay yay yay
And Anna she spoke to herself
'Confession's but a snap'
6
Oh Ann your tender curves are
Like Mount Sinai unto me
Her calves he cupped right boldly
Well up towards the Knee
Yay yay yay, Yay yay yay
Her calves he cupped right boldly
Well up towards the Knee
7
And not just on her forehead
He rest' his blessed hand
But slowly travelled further
Into the promised land
Ow ow ow, Ow ow ow
But slowly travelled further
Into the promised land
8
And he advised "Now Anna
Open up my habit, lass"
"Behold now how the blessing
Of the Lord shall come to pass"
Yay yay yay, Yay yay yay
Behold now how the blessing
Of the Lord shall come to pass
9
She almost lay in seizures
She did all she could do
The old soul it departed
As she received the new
Yay yay yay, Yay yay yay
The old soul it departed
As she received the new
10
Now all you little sisters
If you need a brandnew Soul
Then go and see said Carmelite
Father Gabriel the Old
Then go search for said Carmelite
Father Gabriel the Old
