<p>But listen, up the road, something gulps, the church spire<br />
Opens its eight bells out, skulls’ mouths which will not tire<br />
To tell how there is no music or movement which secures<br />
Escape from the weekday time. Which deadens and endures.
</p>

<div class="poem">
<p>Holy, holy, holy, sang the choir,<br />
From singing holy seemed to never tire,<br />
We were told it was an anthem grand,<br />
Sung in churches through the land.

<div class="poem">
<p>Through this anthem that we heard,<br />
But holy not another word,<br />
The song was just a lavish noise,<br />
To fill you with a lot of joys.
</p>

<div class="poem">
<p>They call this music very fine,<br />
Sung by the choir in perfect time,<br />
Here’s the music we prefer,<br />
A Studebaker engine’s purr.

<div class="poem">
<p>Soprano had a holy time,<br />
The alto wasn’t far behind,<br />
Each had tried their vocal range,<br />
Still, from holy not a change.
</p>
</div> +
<div class="poem">
<p>Much we’ve heard of Holy Writ,<br />
But never heard of singing it,<br />
It’s what the preacher talks about,<br />
The choir just holy, holy, shout.
</p>
</div> +
<div class="poem">
<p>When the choir the anthem gave,<br />
Some we heard about it rave,<br />
All that we could understand,<br />
Was holy, holy, holy-land.
</p>
</div> +
<div class="poem">
<p>The tenor holy, holy, holy, said,<br />
Until he seemed as nearly dead,<br />
Then holy, holy, sang the base,<br />
With holiness upon his face.
</p>
</div> +
<div class="poem">
<p>Holy, holy, on they sang,<br />
The church with holy, holy, rang,<br />
They kept right on to holy sing,<br />
We thought a change the proper thing.
