ive travelled around this world of our seen many a different hat
in Spain they wear the sombrero in America the baseball cap
but the biggest laugh that i did get was when i went to rome , there was a man out on a balcony with a half ball on his dome



chorus

oh pope john paul wears half a ball , to hide his baldy heed
they say that he'll still have it on , when hes lyin deed
i wonder if he'd wear it if he knew when it was ho
that the ball was kicked by michael mols into the celtic goal



oh the soldiers they wear helmets , to protect their head
and your granny to keep warm wears a nightcap tae her bed
in scotland theres the pipers , their busbys looking braw
but you've got to laugh at pope john paul cos' he wears half a ball


chorus

oh pope john paul wears half a ball , to hide his baldy heed
they say that he'll still have it on , when hes lyin deed
i wonder if he'd wear it if he knew when it was ho
that the ball was kicked by michael mols into the celtic goal



oh the pope he came to glasgow and kneeled down to kiss the ground
a little boy ran up to him and the crowd were struck dumbfound
the little boy then raised his foot and kicked the half a ball
he said im soory mister pope man i was tryin to score a goal



chorus

oh pope john paul wears half a ball , to hide his baldy heed
they say that he'll still have it on , when hes lyin deed
i wonder if he'd wear it if he knew when it was ho
that the ball was kicked by michael mols into the celtic goal




i remember in the papers it read king billy was gay
but i wish those lying reporters would report on the present day
they try to make us proddys out to be a laughing stock
when the tims they worship a man in a half maw beads and a long white frock
