Thar she blows, then she sucks
Siren like a fire-truck's
Swinging a censer, swinging a cross
Makes a prophet, makes a loss
Laeti triumphante, adeste fideles
this is the preacher from the black lagoon
this is the bungling big buffoon
One, two, three, four, now he's running out the door
Five, six, seven, eight, Mister Ex-communicate
One, two, three, four, now he's running out the door
Five, six, seven, eight, Mister Ex-communicate.
this is the preacher from the black lagoon
this is the bungling big buffoon.
Here's a performance from the Espy, VIC, in 2010.

Preacher was originally released on the b-side of Big on Love, but it's been released on Collection, and is a fan-favourite!
"Laeti triumphante, adeste fideles" translates to 'O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant'.
