Sister Josephine
Oh, Sister Josephine,What do all these policemen meanBy coming to the convent in a grim limousineAfter Sister Josephine?While you, Sister Josephine,You sit with your boots up on the altar screen.You smoke one last cigar.What a funny nun you are!The policemen say that Josephine's a burglar in disguise,Big bad Norman - fifteen years on the run.The sisters disbelieve it: No, that can't be Josephine;Just think about her tenderness towards the younger nuns.Oh, Sister Josephine,They're searching the chapel where you've been seen,The nooks and the crannies of the nun's canteenAfter Sister Josephine.While you, Sister Josephine,You sip one farewell BenedictineBefore your au revoir.A right funny nun you are!Admittedly her hands are big and hairyAnd embellished with a curious tattoo.Admittedly her voice is on the deep side,SongtexteAnd she seems to shave more often than the other sisters do.Oh, Sister Josephine,Founder of the convent pontoon team,They're looking through your bundles of rare magazinesAfter Sister Josephine.While you, Sister Josephine,You give a goodbye sniff of benzedrineTo the convent budgerigar.A bloody funny nun you are!No longer will her snores ring through the chapel during prayers,Nor her lustful moanings fill the stilly night.No more empty bottles of altar wine come clunking from her cell.No longer will the cloister toilet seat stand upright.Oh, Sister Josephine,Slipping through their fingers like Vaseline,Leaving them to clutch your empty crinolineAfter Sister Josephine.While you, Sister Josephine,Sprinting through the suburbs when last seenDressed only in your wimple and your rosary.A right funny nun you seem to be!
