When I am elected President, my invocation will be this:

CHAPLAIN: Let us praise God. O Lord,...

CONGREGATION: O Lord,...

CHAPLAIN: ...ooh, You are so big,...

CONGREGATION: ...ooh, You are so big,...

CHAPLAIN: ...so absolutely huge.

CONGREGATION: ...so absolutely huge.

CHAPLAIN: Gosh, we're all really impressed down here, I can tell You.

CONGREGATION: Gosh, we're all really impressed down here, I can tell You.

CHAPLAIN: Forgive us, O Lord, for this, our dreadful toadying, and...

CONGREGATION: And barefaced flattery.

CHAPLAIN: But You are so strong and, well, just so super.

CONGREGATION: Fantastic.

HUMPHREY: Amen.

CONGREGATION: Amen.

CHAPLAIN and CONGREGATION: [singing]
O Lord, please don't burn us.
Don't grill or toast Your flock.
Don't put us on the barbecue
Or simmer us in stock.
Don't braise or bake or boil us
Or stir-fry us in a wok.
Oh, please don't lightly poach us
Or baste us with hot fat.
Don't fricassee or roast us
Or boil us in a vat,
And please don't stick Thy servants, Lord,
In a Rotissomat.

CR, thank you for your efforts. I had looked at that web site over the weekend and it wasn't there yet.

You're right about the references to JC. Like I said earlier, I was so angry my memory shorted out and all I could recall was my visceral reaction, which is why I was so anxious to find it. I see now why it bothered me so much. I'm going to need to acclimatize myself to it slowly until I can read it with all my faculties functioning. Thanks again.

P.S. When I was watching it live, I could have sworn it lasted at least ten minutes. I'm amazed at how short it is.<g>
