Sister Mary

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
 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]
