I remember this from an old Cherry Ames book, may not be word for word:

The organ peeled potatoes
Lard was rendered by the choir;
The sexton wrung the dishrag,
Someone set the church on fire!

"Holy Smoke" the preacher shouted,
In the fire he lost his hair.
Now his head resembles heaven,
For there is no parting there.

Cherry Ames was a series for teen-age girls, about a girl going through nursing school, and her adventures after. Each book was about a different sort of nursing. My aunt gave me 7 of the first 8 of the series, and I filled in and added for a while. I'll guess they were originally from the '40s, along with Nancy Drew.
