Saint Teresa the Sacred parted us in 1783
  Her body was found incorrupt with no sign of decay
  Saint Frances Xavier got dug up in 1975
  All the priests were really relieved when he looked like he was still alive
    Believe it or not
  Some saints don't rot
  They're bodies don't decay
  While most of us
  Just turn to dust
  Shortly after we pass away
    Saint Bernadette still looks mighty fresh though she's been dead for years
  Her cheeks still have a pinkish hue and there's colour in her ears
  Saint Josaphat looked like a drowned rat when they fished him out of the river
  Yet after a week he didn't even reek and that made the heathens shiver
    Honest to God
  You can lay 'em in sod
  In coffins made of wood
  And when they're exhumed
  From where they're entombed
  They'll still look pretty good
    Believe it or not
  Some saints don't rot
  They're bodies don't decay
  While most of us
  Just turn to dust
  Shortly after we pass away
    Saint Andrew was flayed alive and his tongue ripped from his head
  Yet everyone who saw him agreed that he looked even better dead
  Saint Catherine Laboure is tucked away in a tiny church in Paris
  Though she looks pretty neat I'm afraid they cheated, she's filled with carbolic acid!
    Honest to God
  You can lay 'em in sod
  In coffins made of wood
  And when they're exhumed
  From where they're entombed
  They'll still look pretty good
    Saints preserve us
