The Prof. In Divinity - 19th Century

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 12 Sept 2001

There's a Prof. in Divinity,
and a wondrous skill has he
both in Egyptology
and in Kant's philosophy,
This Prof. in Divinity,
You never can tell where he'll begin;
You never can tell how long he'll spin,
When he goes upon a spree
in the new Theology,
This Prof. in Divinity.

There's a Prof. in Divinity,
and a dry old bone is he,
as he drones from day to day
on the 'everlasting Yea,'
This Prof. in Divinity.
He can rave about reality,
till you don't know
whether you're blind or see
while he buzzes like a bee,
and you're lost in uncertainty;
This Prof. in Divinity.

There's a Prof. in Divinity,
he's as learned, as learned can be.
He can tell how Jonah's whale
bore up against the gale,
This Prof. in Divinity.
He can tell you how the fish grew sick,
and Jonah stood it like a brick
in the whale's anatomy,
as they rolled through the raging sea,
This Prof. in Divinity.

There's a Prof. in Divinity,
and a sly old dog is he;
he has emptied churches three,
and they capped him a D.D.,
This Prof. in Divinity.
He can show you how to send to sleep
the wildest flock of wayward sheep
with a fatal fluency,
of which he holds the key,
This Prof. in Divinity.

There's a Prof. in Divinity;
unchangeable is he.
He just repeats the lay
that he sang you yesterday,
This Prof. in Divinity.
And when your college course is o'er,
he leaves you where you were before,
Or a little more at sea,
Still deep in perplexity!
This Prof. in Divinity

There's a Prof. in Divinity,
and a wondrous skill has he
both in Egyptology
and in Kant's philosophy,
This Prof. in Divinity,
You never can tell where he'll begin;
You never can tell how long he'll spin,
When he goes upon a spree
in the new Theology,
This Prof. in Divinity.
