Dory Previn - Esther's First Communion lyrics

When she made her first communion Esther made the perfect union In her dress of white and wispy veil Esther's parents said to please us You got to go an marry Jesus And her father took her to the alter rail When she made her first communion Esther made the perfect union And that night she though of him in bed She decided if he sees us We ought to get a look at Jesus And she began to see the one she wed I began to see little Jesus He was sitting on my bed That's what Esther told her mother And to which her mother said You're an evil child to tease us Glory be I hope to Jesus That your father never hears this He would wash your mouth with soap When she made her first communion Esther made the perfect union But she never saw his little face again Yeh her mother said don't tease us So instead of seeing Jesus She began to see a lot of other men What she saw was quite a collection Older men and young ones too Cousins friends and even a brother One at a time and quite a few She began to see a gay uncle Who resembled Billy Graham She began to see perfect strangers She didn't even know by name When she made her first communion Esther made the perfect union But she never saw his face again Yeh her mother said don't tease us So instead of seeing Jesus She began to see a lot of other men But she never told her mother again No she never told her mother again No
