Take Me To Heaven (Reprise)

Welcome this Sunday morning, O ye - few, but faithful
The choir, I have been told, has been working diligently
All week long under a new director
Sister Mary Clarence
Who will now lead them in a sacred hymn
Sisters?

Benedicta tu (Benedicta tu)
In mulieribus (in mulieribus)
Et benedictus
Fructus ventris tri (Jesus)
Jesus (Jesus)

Why, sisters
That is the loveliest you have ever s-

A-one two three four!
Here they are, folks
Hot off their novenas
Blisterin' with sisterhood
Queen of Angels is proud to present:
The divas who believe-ah
The nuns with the fun
Voulez-vous prier avec
The Little Sisters of Our Mother of Perpetual Faith

I've been thinkin' aboutcha
Since receiving your call
Can't see living without ya
Mind, soul, body and all
Pray and I pray every night and each day
Hoping that you'll drop a line
Pray and I pray til you sweep me away
Straight to cloud number nine
You are simply too divine

Take me to heaven
Take me to ecstasy
I'll give you all I got
'Cause nothing's as hot
As when you groove with me (no, no, no-no)
And when you strut your stuff
And do your thing
I just can't help surrendering
You're so strong, you're so sweet
You're what makes me complete
I just worship at your feet

Take me to heaven
Take me to kingdom come
I'll take any vow
Just take me now
Monsignor, I'm shocked!
I don't know what to say!
Neither do I! Look!
People are coming in off the street to hear them!

You know just how to thrill me (Ooh baby)
I want to praise your name to the skies
What are you doing?
I'm putting booties in the seaties, mama!
Only you can fulfill me (Ooh baby)
I've given up on all other guys
Sister Mary Clarence -
I'll be with you in a sec!
I'm working the room

Take me to heaven
Take me to paradise
Give me your healing touch
I need it so much
(And oh, it feels so nice)
Just tell me what you want (Oh yeah)
I can't refuse
Day or night, I'm yours to use
I'll get on my knees
Just take me please!

Hoo! Now
If you like our sound, folks
Shake your pockets to the beat!
And toss whatever you find into the offering basket
So we can keep on singin' love
Up to the man above!

Don't know how you do what you do
It's like you're almost too good to be true
You're my hope
You're my dream
You rock my world
You reign supreme
Sister Mary Patrick, oh dear Lord-
Mary Lazarus, you know better than this!

You put the boogie
Into my soul
You got the boogie
Makes me lose control (beep beep!)

My booty's headed for a special place
Where people shake it, baby
Wrapped in love's embrace
No, not little Mary Robert!
Philadelphia Inquirer
This is profanity!
It's fabulous!
Smile, Sisters!
Smile!
Smile!
Come on, Mother
Smile!

Take me to heaven
This is an abomination!
That may be so, but the crowds are eating it up!
Look at those tithings pour in!
This'll save our parish for sure!
Get out of my sanctuary!
Back off of my stage!
Oh, Sister, you do make a joyful noise
And Reverend Mother
Bless you for seeing the light!
Sister Mary Clarence is our salvation!

Take me higher
Take me higher
Oh, take me to heaven
Oh, take me to heaven
Oh, take me to heaven
Take me there!
