[Verse 1]
G Bm7 Bbm7 Am7 D G
Oh, Sister Josephine, what do all these po - licemen mean..
E7b9 Am Eb7 D Daug G
By coming to the convent in a grim limousine, after Sister Jose - phine?
D7 G Bm7 Bbm7 Am7 D G
While you, Sister Josephine, you sit with your boots up on the altar screen,
E7b9 Am Eb7 D7 G D7 G
You smoke one last ci - gar, what a funny nun you are!
[Verse 2]
B7 Em
The policemen say that Josephine's a burglar in disguise,
B7 Em
'Big Bad Norman', fifteen years on the run,
A7 D
The Sisters disbelieve it, "No, that can't be Josephine!
A7 D A7 D7 * Daug *
Just think about her tenderness to - wards...the younger...nuns!"
[Verse 3]
G Bm Bbm7 Am7 D G
Oh, Sister Josephine, they're searching the chapel, where you've been seen,
E7b9 Am Eb7 D Daug G
The nooks, and the crannies, of the nuns' canteen, after Sister Jose - phine,
D7 G Bm7 Bbm7 Am7 D G
While you Sister Josephine, you sip one farewell Benedictine,
E7b9 Am Eb7 D7 G D7 G
Be - fore your 'Au re - voir', a right funny nun you are!
[Verse 4]
B7 Em
Ad - mittedly her hands are big and hairy,
B7 Em
And em - bellished with a curious tat - too,
A7 D
Ad - mittedly her voice is on the deep side,
A7 D A7 D7 * Daug *
And she seems to shave more often than the other..Sisters...do!
[Verse 5]
G Bm7 Bbm7 Am7 D G
Oh, Sister Josephine, founder of the convent pontoon team,
E7b9 Am
They're looking through your bundles of rare magazines,
Eb7 D Daug G
After Sister Jose - phine,
D7 G Bm7 Bbm7 Am7 D G
While you, Sister Josephine, you give a good-bye sniff of Benzedrine...
E7b9 Am Eb7 D7 G D7 G
To the convent budgeri - gar, a bloody funny nun you are!
[Verse 6]
B7 Em
No longer will her snores ring through the chapel during prayers,
B7 Em
Nor her lustful moanings fill the stilly night,
A7 D
No more empty bottles of altar wine come clunking from her cell,
A7 D A7 Ddim D7
No longer will the cloister toilet seat...stand...up - right!
[Verse 7]
G Bm7 Bbm7 Am7 D G
Oh, Sister Josephine, slipping through their fingers like Vaseline,
E7b9 Am Eb7 D Daug G
Leaving them to clutch your empty crinoline, after Sister Jose - phine,
D7 G Bm7 Bbm7 Am7 D G
While you Sister Josephine, sprinting through the suburbs, when last seen,
E7b9 Am
Dressed only in your wimple and your rosary,
Eb7 D7 Eb F G
A right funny nun you seem... to... be!
