Originally, a totally improvised song, lyrics and all. It was miraculously caught on a cheap Panasonic cassette deck in a Stony Brook piano room. It's pretty funny and a sweet tune at that. Only in the priest persona can I make improvised ideas flow. The Cardinal Dioceses of Chernobel is studying this phenomena next week. "Phillip where's my slinky?" "I need more cement for the cattle".
I later took the work more seriously and recorded it properly in 2001 after 9/11.
The original cassette version can be heard as a bonus track here if you download the entire CD.

lyrics

POOR PHILLUP, STUPID PHILLUP

I’ve been thinking like a torch mouse
Same kind Phillup likes to eat
I’ve been thinking of a light house
Same kind Phillup wants to meet

Poor Phillup - Stupid Phillup
He’s back in the closet again
Poor Phillup - Stupid Phillup
The bastard let those children go!

Now I’ve been thinking of a hell hole
Same kind Phillup doesn’t dream
And I’ve been thinking of a flag pole
The same kind that makes Phillup scream

Poor Phillup - Stupid Phillup
He’s back in the closet again
Poor Phillup - Stupid Phillup
If that bastard lets anymore children go
I’m going to kill him!

I’m going to take his little head off
I swear I’m going to take his little head off
Plug his little hole off
A - Men .....Men.......Men...

I got than a duophonic leg on this one!
