Olden

In the cathedral

Of the castle

In old Ibiza town


With San Juan Pablo

Or Saint John Peter

To you, to me


A happy looking chap

With a rod, with a wave

Wearing a golden gown


His place built by cheap labour

Slaves most likely

According to my friend


Who I must say is not one

To give good grace to the church

In any circumstances


And after climbing all those steps

Struggling up those steep cobbled inclines

There is little or no chance of forgiveness
