| A Mystery | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 1.Well I've been thinkin bout mysteries for a long long time like pickin fleas off a dog in the everlovin month of June, And June soon becomes July, are you confused? Well so am I, watch the butter fly to the man up in the moon. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2. I went to Holy Trinity and the nuns there said "A Mystery is something you are never ever gonna find, With words like omnipotency and transubstantiation, gee I think I almost nearly lost my mind. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| But why, why , can't I open up your heart to see and like the pyramids and the Resurrection, Immaculate Conception, you'll always be a mystery to me. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Chorus | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3. I remember Sister Ernestine, she had a face that was in between an iceberg and a bottle of muscatel, and I'd like to watch that rosary hang down around black hosiery though an impure thought could get you time in hell. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4. Now the day I met you I was drunk, you fell into my life.....kerplunk, well I just turned around and you were there, I never realized you had such class but you certainly had a beautiful mind underneath that beautiful head of hair. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 5. We made love in the mezzanine and I would think of Ernestine sayin "Oh my God if she could see us now" I'd say "sister dear how can this be" and she'd say "Its a mystery, deny it and you turn into a cow!!!" | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 6. No bolts of lightning struck me there I got no warts in my underwear and I never felt like breaking into a bank, but I got you and you got me, that in itself's a mystery so maybe it's Ernestine we ought to thank. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yes you'll always be a mystery like the Holy Ghost and the Trinity, you'll always be a mystery to me. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
