Tune: Let the Sunshine In (Legionaires) There is something, Father You really out to konw It's a way of helping Catholics To be holy and to grow. Apostolic action is wearing mighty thin So we're hoping you'll consider Letting Mary's Leigon in. Chorus Oh let the Legion in Help the Church to win Think of all the souls It will save from sin Oh let the Legion in Take it with a grin Open up your parish Let the Legion in. (Priest) I must tell you frankly The legion has to wait I can see the situation That its members could create They would be resented And thought fanatic too And for many other reasons I must answer "no" to you. Chorus (Legionaires) In your parish, Father Are more than just a few Who will do the work you give them In the way you want them to They will share your priesthood And you will have their aid To make all the many contacts That you never could have made Chorus (Priest) What you say's impressive But I really must state This is on of those occasions Where the Legoin's just too late I have many workers Organizations too If we were to start the Legion There's be nothing it could do. Chorus (Legionaires) Father, we will wager There's much not being done Even though with countless workers Your rectory's overrun Think of all the people Outside the one true fold And the Catholics in your parish Whose devotion has grown cold. Chorus (Priest) You've been quite persistent But then respectful too And although I'm somewhat leery This is what I think we'll do: You can start the Legion, Just name the time and day-- But it will have to prove itself So you'd better start to pray! Chorus (priest) I opened up my parish, Let the Legion in!
