Diamonds cut, diamonds cut for the carrots
Plaster of paris, the floats fill up the street
And the beauty queens, beauty queens with the white gloves
All sick from the night clubs, they wave with pageantry, pageantry

Marching bands and barricades
Make way, for the big parade

Canvas covered, canvas covered in resin
The violent men who dance the blood ballet
And the bookies say, bookies say it's the 3rd round
Oh when louie will go down, if he don't there's hell to pay, and hell to raise
Chorus:
And oh my my oh hey hey
Here he comes, the welterweight
Take a dive, for goodness sake
Or say goodbye to the welterweight
Verse:
Catholic priest, catholic priest in a crisis
He's torn between romance and jesus, who will win the civil war
And he says I'm in love, I'm in love with a woman
Yea this is my confession, I'm leaving I can't a priest anymore, anymore

And oh my my oh hey hey
There he goes, the man of faith
Left the church for a fiance
Let him love, the man of faith
Break:
Ooohhh ooohhh ooohhh
Verse:
T.v. cameras, t.v. cameras and stage hands
