- A hymn parody. This was written tongue-in-cheek, just poking fun at ourselves. This is not serious. It is just for fun. Composer: Kevin G. Pace. Text: Mark R. Fotheringham, Joshua A. Pace
- YouTube video: Bishop's Lament, SATB version
Text:
1. I dread to sing on Sundays,
The songs in the hymn book are lame.
Whichever ones are chosen,
To me they all sound just the same.
I dread to sing on Sundays.
The chorister waves a slow hand.
These counselors sitting beside me
Are tone deaf up here on the stand.
2. It's way too warm this morning,
The thermostat broke late last night,
I can't keep my eyes open,
Please someone awake me, all right?
I fear I may start drooling
Or worse yet, I'll audibly snore,
Oh, curses to that blasted furnace,
Please speaker don't be such a bore.
3. So many children crying
It sounds like a room full of apes.
Their parents try to herd them
And keep them from making escapes.
I think I see a runner.
He’s trying to make for the door.
My wife’s getting up now to chase him.
My kid is a sprinter for sure.
