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 [x4] |
