This is a tale from the Great North region
Recounted to me by an old friend of mine
Well his Christian name was a little Norwegian
I’m just pointing out that it’s nothing like mine![A(1)]
He had a job as a young school sweeper[A(1)]
At a Catholic school in a simpler time[A(1)]
He fell in love and then lord he fell deeper
With a Carmelite sister, she taught the kids mime[A(1)]

He told me [F#m(1)]’She set fire to my ol’ libider,
[B(2)]’doin the rounds with Sister Marita,
[F#m(1)]all of the young priests couldn’t believe her!
[B(2)]Read all about it in The Catholic Catholic Leader’

Sweepin’ the school with his heart all a leapin’
(Singin’ ”how long till I get mine?”)
Readin the leaves looking for signs
(Singin’ ”how long till I get mine?”)
He took a chance with the borders all sleepin’
(”how long till I get mine?”)
He climbed up the lattice through the jasmine vine
(Singin’ ”how long till I [A(1)]get mine?”)

She was [F#m(1)]framed in the window

In a papal wind cheater
[B(2)]His knees were knockin’ like a Mormon team leader
[F#m(1)]Under the moon the handyman freed her
[B(2)]Check it out it’s in The Catholic Leader

[F#m(1)]Read all about it in The Catholic Leader
[B(2)]Read all about it in The Catholic Leader
[F#m(1)]Read all about it in The Catholic Leader
It’s the[B(2)] inside story in the Sunday Catholic Leader

Sunday morning and the whole congregation
(”how long till I get mine?”)
Look in the paper and read the headline
(“how long till I get mine?”)
Bosoms and ties all shake in consternation
(“how long till I get mine?”)
‘SISTER JAN AND THE HANDYMAN JUST CROSSED THE STATE LINE’
(“how long till I [A(1)]get mine?”)

[F#m(1)]They left town in a beat up Cressida
[B(2)]Humming along to the tune of Aiida
[F#m(1)]Flipped the tape to the best of The Breeders
[B(2)]They wrote about it in The Catholic Leader

[F#m(1)]Read all about it in The Catholic Leader
[B(2)]Read all about it in The Catholic Leader
[F#m(1)]Read all about it in The Catholic Leader
It’s the [B(2)]inside story in the Sunday Catholic Leader

A different world and a simpler time…

Singing ‘how long ’til I get mine?’
A different world and a simpler time
Singing ‘how long ’till I get mine?’
A different world and a simpler time
Singing (”how long ’till I get mine?”)
A different world and a simpler time
Singing (“how long ’till I get mine?”)
A different world and a simpler time
Singing (“how long ’till I get mine?”)
It was a different world and a simpler time
But tell me how long ’till I get mine?
