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!
He had a job as a young school sweeper
At a Catholic school in a simpler time
He fell in love and then lord he fell deeper
With a Carmelite sister, she taught the kids mime
He told me 'She set fire to my ol' libider,
'doin the rounds with Sister Marita,
all of the young priests couldn't believe her!
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 get mine?")
She was framed in the window
In a papal wind cheater
His knees were knockin' like a Mormon team leader
Under the moon the handyman freed her
Check it out it's in The Catholic Leader
Read all about it in The Catholic Leader
Read all about it in The Catholic Leader
Read all about it in The Catholic Leader
It's the inside story in the Sunday Catholic Leader
*Guitar solos* - During the solos:
Listen for the timing on that.
After the solos
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 get mine?")
They left town in a beat up Cressida
Humming along to the tune of Aiida
Flipped the tape to the best of The Breeders
They wrote about it in The Catholic Leader
Read all about it in The Catholic Leader
Read all about it in The Catholic Leader
Read all about it in The Catholic Leader
It's the inside story in the Sunday Catholic Leader
They settled down in the Spring Brook Canyon
Making it out under the Kauri pines
She traded the lord for a mortal companion
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?
