[G] Oh, Sister [Bm] Josephine,
[C] what do all these police [G] men mean
By [Em] coming to the convent
In a [Am] grim limousine,
[D] After [D7] Sister Jose-[G]phine?
[D] While [G] you, Sister [Bm] Josephine,
[C] You sit with your boots upon the [G] altar screen
You [Em] smoke one last [Am] cigar -
[D] What a funny nun [D7] you [G] are!
The [Bm] policemen say that Josephine's
A [Em] burglar in disguise
Big bad [Bm] Norman,
Fifteen years on the [Em] run
The [A] Sisters disbelieve it
No that [D] can't be Josephine
[A] Just think about her tenderness
[A7] Towards the [Ddim] younger [D7] nuns.
[G] Oh, Sister [Bm] Josephine,
[C] They're searching the chapel
where you've [G] been seen
The [Em] nooks and the crannies
Of the [Am] nuns' canteen
[D] After [D7] Sister Jose-[G]phine.
[D] While [G] you Sister [Bm] Josephine,
[C] You sip one farewell [G] Benedictine
Before [Em] your au [Am] revoir -
[D] A right funny nun [D7] you [G] are!
{np}
[Bm] Admittedly her [Em] hands are big and hairy
And [Bm] embellished with a curious [Em] tattoo
[A] Admittedly her voice is on the [D] deep side
And she [A] seems to shave more often
[D] Than the [A7] other [Ddim] Sisters [D7] do.
[G] Oh, Sister [Bm] Josephine,
[C] Founder of the convent [G] pontoon team
They're [Em] looking through your bundles
Of [Am] rare magazines
[D] After [D7] Sister Jose-[G]phine.
[D] While [G] you, Sister [Bm] Josephine,
You give a [C] goodbye sniff of [G] benzedrine
To the [Em] convent budgeri-[Am]gar -
A [D] bloody funny nun [D7] you [G] are!
[Bm] No longer will her snores
Ring through the [Em] chapel during prayers
Nor her [Bm] lustful moaning
Fill the stille [Em] night
No more [A] empty bottles of altar wine
come [D] clunking from her cell
No [A] longer will the cloister toilet [D]
Seat [A7] stand [Ddim] up [D7] right.
[G] Oh, Sister Jose-[Bm]phine,
[C] Slipping through their fingers like [G] Vaseline
[Em] Leaving them to clutch at your [Am] empty crinoline,
[D] After [D7] Sister Jose-[G]phine.
[D] While [G] you Sister Jose-[Bm]phine,
[C] Sprinting through the suburbs [G] when last seen
Dressed [Em] only in your wimple and your [Am] rosary
A [D] right funny nun you [Eb] seem [F] to [G] be.
