1473 - Purple papal people

Scotland’s all excited by the visit
To Edinburgh and then to Glasgow
Of old, conservative Pope Benedict
He lands by plane wearing his robes of snow
The Popemobile driver knows where to go
To Bellahouston Park, in ’82
The scene of John Paul Two’s mass, and although
There’s not so many this time, there’s a few
Thousand, waving their flags, hullabaloo
In the air, suffused with holy spirit
At least most of them would like to think so
And so they forget the negative news
Disturbing thoughts swept under the carpet
And only twenty pounds to see the show
