Lyrics

In the name of the Father, and the Son (oh-oh-oh-oh)

And of the Holy Ghost (oh-oh-oh-oh)

Amen (uh-uh-uh)

Right about this time (uh-uh)

I'd like to say a prayer for everyone out there (uh-uh-uh)

Being that we live in such a trouble world (uh-uh)

It's a wonder that any of us get the chance to pray (uh-uh-uh)

So I'd like to dedicate this prayer (uh-uh)

To all the sinners all over the world (uh-uh-uh)

And that means everybody (uh-uh)

And it goes something like this

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Our Father, who art in Heaven

Hallowed be, hallowed be thy name (ah, ah)

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done (ah, ah)

On earth as it is in Heaven

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Give us this day our daily bread

And forgive us our trespasses

As we forgive those who trespass against us (ah, ah)

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil (ah, ah)

For thine is the kingdom and the power (ah, ah)

And the glory forever and ever, amen

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

In the name of the Father, and the Son (oh-oh-oh-oh)

And of the Holy Ghost (oh-oh-oh-oh)

Amen

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (amen)

Amen
