Sorry, there, does anybody have the lyrics of the song Every Sperm is
Sacred, from the movie The Meaning of Life?
Thanx in advance

Here you are. It's taken from one version of the script.


There are Jews in the world,
There are Buddhists,
There are Hindus and Mormons and then,
There are those that follow Mohammed,
But I've never been one of them...

I'm a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics,
Is they'll take you as soon as you're warm...

You don't have to be a six-footer,
You don't have to have a great brain,
You don't have to have any clothes on -
You're a Catholic the minute Dad came...

Because...

Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great,
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Children: Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great,
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Child: [solo] Let the heathen spill theirs,
On the dusty ground,
God shall make them pay for,
Each sperm that can't be found.

Children: Every sperm is wanted,
Every sperm is good,
Every sperm is needed,
In your neighbourhood.

Mum: [solo] Hindu, Taoist, Mormon,
Spill theirs just anywhere,
But God loves those who treat their
Semen with more care.

Men neighbours: [peering out of toilets]
Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great,

Women neighbours: [on wall]
If a sperm is wasted,

Children: God get quite irate.

Priest: [in church] Every sperm is sacred,

Bride and Groom: Every sperm is good.

Nannies: Every sperm is needed.

Cardinals: [in prams] In your neighbourhood!

Children: Every sperm is useful,
Every sperm is fine,

Funeral Cortege: God needs everybody's,

First Mourner: Mine!

Lady Mourner: And mine!

Corpse: And mine!

Nun: [solo] Though the pagans spill theirs,
O'er mountain, hill and plain,

Various artefacts in a Roman Catholic Souvenir Shop:
God shall strike them down for
Each sperm that's spilt in vain.

Everybody: Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is good,
Every sperm is needed,
In your neighbourhood.

Even more than everybody, including two fire-eaters, a juggler, a
clown at a piano and a stilt-walker riding a bicycle:
Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great,
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

[Everybody cheers (including the fire-eaters, the
juggler, the clown at the piano and the stilt-walker
riding the bicycle). Fireworks go off, a Chinese dragon
is brought on and flags of all nations are unfurled
overhead.]

Use mail, that way I don't have to read it again, and again, and again,
and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and
again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again,
and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and
again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again,
and again, and again.

NAITA aka sorry, got a bit carried away there.

I have reason to believe that it wasn't a Chinese Dragon, as that would
not have been relevant to the song, I would have thought The Pythons
intended it to be a sperm (albeit a large one!)

But I could be completely wrong,

Hello there!
It just so happens I have a copy of the Monty Python songbook so
here goes....

There are Jews in the world,
There are Buddhists,

There are Hindus and mormons and then,


There are those that follow Mohammed,

But I've never been one of them....


I'm a Roman Catholic,

And have been since the day I were born,


And the one thing they say about Catholics,

Is they'll take you as soon as you're warm....


You don't have to be a six-footer,
You don't have to have a great brain,

You don't have to have any slothes on
You're a Catholic the moment Dad came....
Because....

CHORUS 1


Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great,
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Let the heathens spill theirs,


On the dusty ground,
God shall make them pay for

Each sperm that can't be found.

CHORUS 2


Every sperm is wanted,
Every sperm is good,
Every sperm is needed

In your neighbourhood.

Hindu, Taoist, Mormon,
Spill theirs just anywhere,
But God loves those who treat their
Semen with more care.

CHORUS 1

CHORUS 2

Every sperm is useful,
Every sperm is fine,

God needs everybody's,
Mine!
And mine!
And mine!

Let the pagan spill theirs,


O'er mountain, hill and plain,

God shall strike them down for
Each sperm that's spilt in vain.

CHORUS 2

CHORUS 1

THE END

There you go! I hope your life is more complete now.

Well I have that song here and there, and so does most other readers
here, if they want it, and if you had used mail I wouldn't have had to
see this, and that would have been good, and I bet a bunch that this
song and all the others are available from a billion sources out on the
net that can be found with simple search engines or by visiting e.g.
this newsgroups homepage, this way you don't need to post these songs
that everyone knows from one end to the other anyway, and which aren't
really needed here since we all know them.. well I have started to
repeat myself, please excuse any or all anoying posts from me now and in
the future.
NAITA aka was that ok?

Bjørnar Tuftin recently posted a 837-byte complaint about the futility of a
1,093-byte posting.

This is very silly.

Well, I'm now going to complain about you calling my first complaint
silly, due to it being almost as long as the one I thought was totaly
unnecessary, in 150 bytes in way over a million billion bytes. You see I
have a reputation to keep up, I've been posting on and off here for..
two years (yes I know that's shorter than many others) and most of the
time now I post followups to posts like that one, which is a waste of
bandwith, I try to make them slightly humorous or entertainingly ranting
but I tend to fail. Well that doesn't stop me, I'll keep posting and
posting and posting. Now, do you see that I'm right and you are wrong?

NAITA aka always right
aka well I know that wasn't a million billion bytes, but I got
tired ok, and since I'm always logged in on pug.7thlevel.com 2010 (Monty
Python's Flying Talker) I tend to be a little distracted even when I
write posts. OK!!!

No, I'm still not getting anything... Could you try it in a higher

That was 203 bytes, not counting me. I'm byting off more than I can chew.
