The da Vinci Coda. Sample #3

Most songs that explicitly reference the communion ritual aren’t compatible with The da Vinci Code, so we’ve rewritten “Table of Plenty” to accommodate more progressive communities.

Chorus:
Come to receive the body of Christ –
That’s what we call this small wafer -
It’s just a symbol in memory
Of a great husband and father.

Verse:
Yes here we remember Jesus,
His mother and, of course, his wife!
The secret knowledge that we have frees us
And takes meaning away from our life.

We will have none of that old talk of sin,
Of damnation, nor of hell!
Remember the goddess is always within
Whatever we do is just swell!

We remember the martyrs who sadly
Were forced to live lives chaste and pure,
The injustice of it all grips us so madly:
Sex is always good, of that we’re sure!

We salute all the women who once chose
Abortion, as is their right.
The sacredness of their femininity shows
In this exercise of their might.

How sweet if we could show that Christ’s own wife
Had abortions back in Transalpine Gaul,
Then we could finally shout down “right to life”
And get rid of them once and for all!
