There’s a cappuccino machine in the Church
Mum said to me
Father Michael’s family’s All in hospitality
There’s some that come for Jesus
And there’s some that really care
When Father Michael’s brewing
Aroma is the prayer
Father Michael’s Family’s all in hospitality
Father Michael left them there when he joined the Clergy
There’s some that come for Jesus and there’s some that come to share
When father Michael’s brewing aroma is the prayer
Ohhh Father Michael, Father Michael
father Michael makes coffee
Father Michael Father Michael
Latte Long Black Cup of tea
Brewing in the presbytery

Mum takes Dad down to church
He once was a brother
In the monastery for twenty years then
met my mother
There’s no belief in this place for my darling Mum. The Catholic Church has left her cold, angry and quite numb.
She only goes to say hello and have
community
for my Dad’s well being and for the great coffee!
Father Michael’s family’s all in hospitality
Father Michael left them there when he joined the clergy
There’s some that come for Jesus and there’s some that really care
When Father Michael’s brewing
Aroma is the prayer.
Ohhh Father Michael, Father Michael
father Michael makes coffee

Latte Long Black Cup of tea
Brewing in the presbytery

Father’s labrador named Lenny
sits and hears his prayers and witnesses the coffee sips and winks of caring stares.
Dad’s a bit sad mums renounced her faith in god and hope
My siblings cheered with mum one night
When Sinead ripped up the pope
Father Michael’s Family’s all in hospitality
Father Michael left them there when he joined the Clergy
There’s some that come for Jesus and there’s some that come to share
When father Michael’s brewing aroma is the prayer
Ohhh Father Michael, Father Michael
father Michael makes coffee
Father Michael Father Michael
Latte Long Black Cup of tea
Brewing in the presbytery
Brewing in the presbytery
Serving it for the garbo and the lawyer in the foyer
Serving it for the sculptor and the agent in the manger
Serving it for the people who are climbing up the steeple
Serving it for the holy
Brewing in the Presbytery!!
