Sister Mary
Can you remember
the school in the slums?
Can you hear the trombone
the guitar and the drums?
Sure you remember
And you know which one
You went to the one my son
That's run by the nun's
Hey Sister Mary
can you teach me the song?
While they drag him out of there
in scandal and shame
And Mr. Cosmic the slide
will you play along?
The man in the street
he couldn't handle the fame
Can you remember
when you left the school?
Half the world seemed wonderful
the other half seemed cruel
Pardon me sir
you were half out of your mind
The magic you'd make
and then the fame you would find
Hey Sister Mary
can you teach me the song?
While they drag him out of there
in scandal and shame
And Mr. Cosmic the slide
will you play along?
The man in the street
he couldn't handle the fame
On the Eastern Standard Time
the teardrops in the rain
Sweet Anita Margarita
she was crying out in pain
Sister Mary cannot save you now
you might as well admit
You left your trombone all alone
And she held on to it
Hey Sister Mary
can you teach me the song?
While they drag him out of there
in scandal and shame
And Mr. Cosmic the slide
will you play along?
The man in the street
he couldn't handle the fame
Hey Sister Mary
can you teach me the song?
While they drag him out of there
in scandal and shame
And Mr. Cosmic the slide
will you play along?
The man in the street
he couldn't handle the fame
Hey Sister Mary [x4]
the school in the slums?
Can you hear the trombone
the guitar and the drums?
Sure you remember
And you know which one
You went to the one my son
That's run by the nun's
Hey Sister Mary
can you teach me the song?
While they drag him out of there
in scandal and shame
And Mr. Cosmic the slide
will you play along?
The man in the street
he couldn't handle the fame
Can you remember
when you left the school?
Half the world seemed wonderful
the other half seemed cruel
Pardon me sir
you were half out of your mind
The magic you'd make
and then the fame you would find
Hey Sister Mary
can you teach me the song?
While they drag him out of there
in scandal and shame
And Mr. Cosmic the slide
will you play along?
The man in the street
he couldn't handle the fame
On the Eastern Standard Time

Sweet Anita Margarita

Sister Mary cannot save you now

You left your trombone all alone
And she held on to it
Hey Sister Mary

While they drag him out of there

And Mr. Cosmic the slide

The man in the street
he couldn't handle the fame
Hey Sister Mary
can you teach me the song?
While they drag him out of there
in scandal and shame
And Mr. Cosmic the slide
will you play along?
The man in the street
he couldn't handle the fame
Hey Sister Mary [x4]
