[Verse 1]
Little altar boy, I wonder, could you pray for me?
Little altar boy, for I have gone astray

[Chorus]
What must I do to be holy like you?
Little altar boy, oh, let me hear you pray

[Verse 2]
Little altar boy, I wonder could you ask our Lord
Ask him, altar boy, to take my sins away

[Chorus]
What must I do to be holy like you?
Little altar boy, please let me hear you pray

[Verse 3]
Lift up your voice and send a prayer above
Help me rejoice and fill that prayer with love
Now I know my life has been all wrong
Lift up your voice and help a sinner be strong

[Verse 4]
Little altar boy, I wonder, could you pray for me?
Could you tell our Lord I'm going to change my way today?
[Chorus]
What must I do to be holy like you?
Little altar boy, oh, let me hear you pray

[Outro]
Little altar boy, please let me hear you pray
