Blame Peter Schickele, aka PDQ Bach.  It's one of the movements of the
_Missa Hilarius_, Schickele number N2O:

      Yriekay Eleisonway
      Gloria
      Credo
      Sanctus
      Angus Dei

For that last, Doodler at

says "The words for the Angus Dei are quite inspiring".  Correcting
him from memory:

     Angus Dei
     (hoofbeats, rapid) Qui tollis peccata mundi miserere nobis!
     Angus Dei
     (hoofbeats, rapid) Qui tollis peccata mundi miserere nobis!
     (Chorus, to the opening measures of the Hallelulah Chorus) Angus Dei! Angus Dei!
     She looks so nice just standing there all covered with the dew.
     Angus Dei! Angus Dei!
     She's the prettiest cow I've ever seen and I have seen a few.

     as played on brass and bicycle horns)

     Angus Dei
     (hoofbeats, rapid) Qui tollis peccata mundi miserere nobis!
     Angus Dei
     (hoofbeats, rapid) Qui tollis peccata mundi miserere nobis!
     Angus Dei! Angus Dei!
     I have to make it through the week as best as I know how.
     Angus Dei! Angus Dei!
     I see her every Sunday morning, she's my sacred cow.
