Canticle of Pizzaballa

Gregorian chant, holy, monastic, choir, priests, deep male choir, cathedral, choral, religious, organ, papal

Opening – Solo unison chant in solemn tone]
Pizzaballa rise-us in glorious morninga,
Should’ve been the Popus, but conclavum did him wrong-a.

[Chorus – Full chant with droning organ]
Pizzaballa! Pizzaballa! Pope-issimo foreverus!
He was robbedus, yes robbedus, at the holy conclavum!

[Verse I – Call and response]
Chorus A:
Bombardino Crocodilo sail’d on the font of wine,
Chorus B:
Tralalelo Tralala sanctified the brine.

[Verse II – Chant in slow 3/4]
Blessèd be the duck he kiss’d, in robes of velvet cream,
Fought a bishop made of zucchinus, in a papal dream.
Chimpanzini Bananini lit the incense bowl,
While lirili larila danced round the Vatican scroll.

[Chorus – Full chant with harmonised voices]
Pizzaballa! Pizzaballa! Pope-issimo foreverus!
He was robbedus, yes robbedus, at the holy conclavum!

[Verse III – Layered chant in thirds]
Trippi troppi troppa trippa—laid upon the plate,
Served by cardinals in slippers, arguing his fate.
Brrr brrr patapim rang from holy bells,
Echo’d by the marble saints and fresco’d chapel shells.

[Bridge – Slow, building intensity]
Tung tung tung tung tung tung tung tung tung… SAHUR!
Tung tung tung tung tung tung tung tung tung… SAHUR!
Tung tung tung tung tung tung tung… SAHUR!
Tungalina, Sahurissima, bless’d be his name-a!
Tung tung tung tung… SAHUR! SAHUR! SAHUR!
Tung tung tung tung tung tung… SAHUR! SAHUR!
Tung tung tung tung tung tung tung tung tung… SAHUR!
Tung tung tung tung tung… SAHUR!

[Chorus – Sung with organ and chimes]
Pizzaballa! Pizzaballa! Pope-issimo foreverus!
He was robbedus, yes robbedus, at the holy conclavum!

[Verse IV – Hymn-like lament]
O Pierbattista, chosen shepherd of divine-a,
Thy mitre stolen, swapped for pasta and cheap wine-a.
Robed in woolus most itchy, carried by goatus grand,
Still thy finger ringeth justice through the basilicand.

[Chorus – Sung reverently by full choir]
Pizzaballa! Pizzaballa! Pope-issimo foreverus!
He was robbedus, yes robbedus, at the holy conclavum!

[Closing – Slow and reverent fade out]
Pizzaballa, Sancto-Balla, Pope who never reigned,
In our hearts enthron’d forever, though the title was detained.
Glorium was robbedus, conclave did not see,
The blessedness of Balla, in papal majesty.

[Outro – Fade out in chant]
Pizzaballa… Pizzaballa… Pope in all but name-a…
Foreverus… Amena…
