Tell me, Mr. Johannes Buh-ble
Have you ever thought about working for the church?
(I did once, but it seemed pretty boring)
No, Johannes Buh-buh-buh
Monking is power
Monk with me
Come work here
I think you'll like it
We've got a cat! (Aww!)
Plus free lunch
Delicious loaves and fishes
Here, taste that (Mm)
I usually eat lamb and stew
Maybe I like fish too
Monk with me!
The clothes here
It's all robes here
Don't that feel soft? (Oh)
It's real silk
From China
There's nothing finer
Now take it off
(But I want it!)
Then monk with me
My friend
Yeah! We're monking for God now
Monk with me
My friend
I'm tempted by his monk lifestyle
But I want something more worthwhile
A world where everyone can read
Can I still do that, Monk?
It's better if the world can't read
God is what the people need
That God could be us, or we
Oh Gutenberg, monk with -
No! Monk!
Don't you see? We're different!
You believe in God
And I believe in stuff
And God and stuff don't mix
It's like bugs and beautiful skin
Plus, let's face it, man
You're a terrible monk
Choose your words very carefully, Johannes Pa-pa-pa!
Words! Words, yes, I almost forgot!
Like the words in this Bible (No!)
Words are why I came here
I believe in my words
I believe in my press
I believe in a reading Germany
Now you want me to monk
And throw that away
I think it's time to go
(Do not tell me, do not tell me no) My answer, Monk, is no
Doors lock!
Windows close!
You're not going anywhere, buh-buh-buh!
Yes I am!
And I'm taking this big Bible with me
Oh! It feels like goodness
The only thing better than this feeling
Would be mass producing this feeling
Give me that Bible!
(Ah!) You better get your mind off of words, Johannes Ca-ca-ca
Why don't you want to go to heaven? (Heaven?) Yeah!
Heaven! Where do you think people go when they die?
I don't know
I guess most people turn into dirt
But some people turn into statues
(Statues?)
Yes
And I want my statue to be me
Riding a dragon
And nursing a baby
Oh, Johannes Ba-ba-ba
There are no statues in heaven
(Then I don't want to go there!)
What?!
But everybody wants to go to heaven!
That's what gives me my power!
Oh, Monk
You cannot understand
The world has changed for human man (ah!)
Thinking, reading
That's the plan
Your monk ways are old news
And I will never monk with -
Hey, Monk!
I'm taking this Bible
But, Monk
I hope we can be friends
Friends?!
Ridiculous!
Impossible
The Bible says a monk shall not have friends
Then again
I wouldn't mind having a buddy I could talk to every now and then
We'd crack open a little communion wine
Watch a joust
Maybe bait a bear
I love to bait a bear
But aw, heck
For that to happen
The whole world would have to change
Then again
What if it did change?
A world with no more monking
No heaven
And no hell
Where I don't work for Satan
How I hate that sulfur smell
If change is a-comin' like Johannes says
Lord, could I change as well?
I'd have no power but I could be good -
No! What am I saying?
God is my enemy!
And being good is the exact opposite
Of what I want!
There is no good in me
There's haunted German wood in me
Ah! And Gutenberg is gonna see
The world will monk with me!
Oh!
