ALLE, ALLELUIA!
THE GUILD OF THE SACRISTANS AND SERVERS
SONG AT THE MIDNIGHT MASS
(Tune: Day oh!)
One Server sings then the others answer.
They pass time as the MC counts the number of wafers put out for the Mass.
Alle, Alleluia!
Mass is done an' we wanna go home.
Alle, Alleluia!
Mass is done an' we wanna go home.
We serve the priests now 'til quarter to one.
Mass is done an' we wanna go home.
Clean the silver 'till the morning come.
Mass is done an' we wanna go home.
Come Mister Sacristan; count me me wafers.
Mass is done an' we wanna go home.
I come here to worship, give me service papers.
Mass is done an' we wanna go home.
One wafer, two wafer, three in the pyx!
Mass is done an' we wanna go home.
Four wafer, five wafer, 'nother makes six!
Mass is done an' we wanna go home.
Alle, Alleluia!
Mass is done an' we wanna go home.
Alle, Alleluia!
Mass is done an' we wanna go home.
A lovely box full of wholemeal wafer.
Mass is done an' we wanna go home.
All that's left is put in the safe, yea!
Mass is done an' we wanna go home.
So count them, count them, count them with caution.
Mass is done an' we wanna go home.
My back is breaking from pure exhaustion.
Mass is done an' we wanna go home.
Six wafer, seven wafer, eight are counted!
Mass is done an' we wanna go home.
Nine wafer, ten wafer, all are bless-ed!
Mass is done an' we wanna go home.
Alle, Alleluia!
Mass is done an' we wanna go home.
Alle, Me say: Alleluia!
Mass is done an' we wanna go home.
Mass is done an' we wanna go home.
Mass is done an' we wanna go home.
Alle, Alleluia!
