You load 16 tons & what do you get? Another day older & deeper in debt. St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go. I owe my soul to the company store.
Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette. Puff puff puff until you puff yourself to death Tell Saint Peter at the Golden Gate That you hate to make him wait But you've got to have another cigarette.
I can see a new horizon underneath the blazing sky I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher Gonna be a man in motion all I need is a pair of wheels Take me where my future's lying St. Elmo's fire...

Jolly old St. Nicholas, Lean your ear this way!
Don’t you tell a single soul, What I’m going to say;
old Christmas song
Oh when the saints,
come marching in,
oh when the saints come marching in.
oh lord I want to be in that number
when the saints come marching in
~gospel hymn
St. Genevieve, St. Genevieve,
It's Guinevere, remember me?
St. Genevieve, St. Genevieve,
I'm over here, beneath this tree
"The Simple Joys of Maidenhood," Camelot
Yes, I've heard the odd complaint,
But on the whole I've been a saint
To those poor, unfortunate souls
-From "The Little Mermaid"
I'd rather laugh with the sinners
Than cry with the saints.
The sinners are much more fun.
Only the Good Die Young
Billy Joel
In his master's steps he trod
where the snow lay dinted
Heat was in the very sod
which the saint had printed.

I only know seven words; sorry:
I went down to St. James infirmary
(It's a blues song from before my time.)
Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette.
Puff puff puff until you puff yourself to death
Tell Saint Peter at the Golden Gate
That you hate to make him wait
But you've got to have another cigarette.
don't know who wrote it
Saint Anthony has been blatantly ignoring me.
See I pray to him, and I say to him, would help me.
~St. Anthony by Amy Steinberg
Ooops! That's supposed to be "would YOU help me."
Got a brother whose got my back
Got a mama who I swear's a saint

And your saints above
Join with your saints below
Rejoicing in the risen lamb
-"Glories of Calvary" from Sovereign Grace
Im a child
Im a mother
Im a sinner
Im a saint

Up on the housetop
Click, click, click
Down through the chimney
With good St. Nick
She's seen all the classics, she knows every line.
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, even Saint Elmo's Fire.

You ain't no saint
We're all sinners
-Jill Scott "A Long Walk"
Holy, Holy, Holy
All the saints adore thee
Casting down their golden crowns
Around the glassy sea
-hymn
I can see a new horizon
underneath the blazing sky
I'll be where the eagle's flying
higher and higher
Gonna be a man in motion
all I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where my future's lying
St. Elmo's fire...
---John Parr, from the movie (thanks Meghan!)
With a will and a self-restraint
That's the envy of every saint
"C'est Moi," from Camelot
And he lives forever with his saints to reign
He arose (he arose...)
"Low in the Grave He Lay"
Meet me in St. Louis, Louis
Meet me at the fair.
