Der Karmeliter [English translation]

1

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
