GOh, Sister BmJosephine, Cwhat do all these poGlicemen mean
By Emcoming to the convent in a Amgrim limousine, Dafter D7Sister JoseGphine?
DWhile Gyou, Sister BmJosephine, you Csit with your boots upon the Galtar screen
You Emsmoke one last ciAmgar - Dwhat a funny D7nun you Gare!
The Bmpolicemen say that Josephine's a Emburglar in disguise
BmBig bad Norman, fifteen years on the Emrun
The BmSisters disbelieve it no that Emcan't be Josephine
Just Bmthink about her tenderness toA7wards the Ddimyounger D7nuns.
GOh, Sister BmJosephine, they're Csearching the chapel where Gyou've been seen
The Emnooks and the crannies of the Amnuns' canteen Dafter D7Sister JoseGphine.
DWhile Gyou Sister BmJosephine, you Csip one farewell GBenedictine
BeEmfore your au reAmvoir - a Dright funny D7nun you Gare!
AdBmmittedly her hands are big and Emhairy and emBmbellished with a curious tatEmtoo
AdBmmittedly her voice is on the Emdeep side
And she Bmseems to shave more often than the Aother DdimSisters D7do.
GOh, Sister BmJosephine, Cfounder of the convent Gpontoon team
They're Emlooking through your bundles of Amrare magazines
DAfter D7Sister JoseGphine.
While Gyou, Sister BmJosephine, you give a Cgoodbye sniff of Gbenzedrine
To the Emconvent budgeriAmgar - a Dbloody funny D7nun you Gare!
No Bmlonger will her snores ring through the Emchapel during prayers
Nor her Bmlustful moaning fill the stille Emnight
No more Bmempty bottles of altar wine come Emclunking from her cell
No Bmlonger will the cloister toilet Dseat A7stand Ddimup - D7right.
GOh, Sister BmJosephine, Cslipping through their fingers like GVaseline
EmLeaving them to clutch your Amempty crinoline, Dafter D7Sister JoseGphine.
DWhile yGou Sister JBmosephine, sCprinting through the suburbs wGhen last seen
Dressed Emonly in your wimple and your Amrosary
A Dright funny nun you Ebseem Fto Gbe.
