The Merry Misadventures of Sister Mary Margaret
Kids turn in your homework
And hang all your coats
No messy writing
And finish all your notes
Sister Mary Margaret needs attention
For today's most important,
And holiest of lessons
And she said
Don't forget the tiny, orphan slot machines
One armed, little pagans
From Chinese factories
Roulette wheels and Snake-eyed dice
And pray the Rosary
While we make a small donation to the orphan slot machines
Mary and her partner, Sister Lady Luck,
Would gamble school donations
Whatever they could pluck
Box tops and tuition and all the lunch fees, too
If you didn't watch your wallet
She'd take it right from you
Losses from the gambling were mounting
Half a million dollars
And they're still counting
But she said
Don't forget the tiny, orphan slot machines
One armed, little pagans
From Chinese factories
Roulette wheels and Snake-eyed dice
And pray the Rosary
While we make a small donation to the orphan slot machines
Hail Mary, full of grace, just give me some more luck
Another win, just one more score, it only takes a buck
Triple seven jackpot, I know it's coming near
I'll take up all my winnings and fly away from here
Holy Mary, don't look now
They've figured out your scheme
Bouncing checks and fake accounts
I hope that you come clean
Triple seven jackpot, your never gonna nab it
It may be fun as gambling nun
But don't get in the habit
Quitting slots might make you feel depression
I just wish I could spy on your confession
Where she said
Don't forget the tiny, orphan slot machines
One armed, little pagans
From Chinese factories
Roulette wheels and Snake-eyed dice
And pray the Rosary
While we make a small donation to the orphan slot machines
And hang all your coats
No messy writing
And finish all your notes
Sister Mary Margaret needs attention
For today's most important,
And holiest of lessons
And she said
Don't forget the tiny, orphan slot machines
One armed, little pagans
From Chinese factories
Roulette wheels and Snake-eyed dice
And pray the Rosary
While we make a small donation to the orphan slot machines
Mary and her partner, Sister Lady Luck,

Whatever they could pluck
Box tops and tuition and all the lunch fees, too
If you didn't watch your wallet

But she said
