I was raised in Iowa, went to Wartburg,
German, I'm proud to say.
Thirty years a member of Zion Lutheran,
In the fourth row every Sunday.
Always sit in the back of the church,
Always in the same pew.
I like the folks who sit back there,
They're all German too.
We are a modest people
And we never make a fuss
And it sure would be a better world
If they were all as modest as us.
Episcopalians are proud of their faith,
You ought to hear them talk.
Who they got? They got Henry the 8th
And we got J.S. Bach.
Henry the 8th'd marry a woman
And then her head would drop.
J.S. Bach had 23 kids
Cause his organ had no stop.
I was raised to keep a lid on it,
Guard what you say or do.
A Mighty Fortress is our God
So He must be Lutheran too.
