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

 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?
