Sister Mary Annette is a hand puppet by the way!

SISTER MARY AMNESIA
Hello, my name is Sister Mary...
For a moment there I thought
I remembered my real name
Oh, well

I think it is just wonderful
That you want to be a nun
And you think it might be fun
To be one of the ones who's a nuuuun

Then the order you elect
To select should reflect I suspect
A desire to perfect
What you've done up to know
I wish that somehow

SISTER MARY ANNETTE
Stop! I can't stand listening to this!

SISTER MARY AMNESIA
Why Sister Mary Annette
What are you doing here?
I thought you stayed in France with the, uh
The Protestants

SISTER MARY ANNETTE
No way Jose
Girls, if you want to be a nun
Join an order that still wears a habit!

SISTER MARY AMNESIA
Oh now, wait a minute sister
I know it's true that we still wear habits
But even I know
A habit does not a nun make

SISTER MARY ANNETTE
Oh, get real, will ya?
Hit it sweetheart!

It's really very simple
With a wimple you learn
You get instant respect
Which you don't have to earn
You'll move right up in line
Without waiting your turn
Virtues like paaaatience are not our concern

SISTER MARY AMNESIA
Sister, I thought virtue
Virtue was always our concern

Think about our solemn vows
There are three you must espouse
Poverty, chastity and obedience

SISTER MARY ANNETTE
What the hell are you trying to?
Making me go deaf?

SISTER MARY AMNESIA
Don't be silly sister
You know you can't go deaf
I mean, everyone can see
Nuns don't have ears

Now, where was I?
Let's start with poverty
Empty your purse
Poverty makes being poor even worse
Granted, it's not so extreme for the nun
We may not be starving
But still is not fun

Not fun, fun, fun, fun, fun
Not, fun, fun, fun, fun fun
Not, fun, fun, fun, fun
Poverty's not fun

SISTER MARY ANNETTE
What do you mean poverty's not fun?
You can't deny we live like
We're from Beverly Hills
While Mother Superior pays all the bills
Wake up, smell the coffee girls
Our lives are first rate
From a nun's point of view poverty's great

SISTER MARY AMNESIA
What are you talking about poverty's great?

SISTER MARY ANNETTE
Well, isn't it obvious?
We can have anything
We just can't own it

SISTER MARY AMNESIA
Oh
Chastity is where we've found
Our postulants are losing ground
You must be celibate

SISTER MARY ANNETTE
You can't screw around!

SISTER MARY AMNESIA
Sister!
Obedience is number three
We cannot question what will be
If you have no opinion
Then the living is eeeasy

Wait a minute, wait a minute!
I think I'm beginning to remember who I am

SISTER MARY ANNETTE
It's Gershwin, honey
1935, and you weren't in it
Now back to obedience
If pain can make can make you perfect
Then this vow is for you
Every time you disobey
They beat your *** black and blue

SISTER MARY AMNESIA
Sister!
The confessional is where she belongs
Everything she says is wrong

SISTER MARY ANNETTE
Sister's just jealous
'Cause I stole her song

SISTER MARY AMNESIA
Dedication and commitment

SISTER MARY ANNETTE
She's so full of

SISTER MARY AMNESIA
Don't finish that one

SISTER MARY ANNETTE
No habit, no ticket to fun!

BOTH
This song is

SISTER MARY ANNETTE
Get the hook!

BOTH
Dooooooone!

I found that kind of crude, but myabe others will have a different opinion.

Yeah, it was rather crude. It has its amusing parts, but I'm not sure they're worth it....

Well, in truth I think rather crude too but I still think it's funny. And if you look past the crude you can see some small truths about the history of religious life! Well, I think so anyhow. Sorry if I've offended.... I guess it does sound better than it reads!

HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE the Nunsense seris, I actually wrote a play (Wow I still remember I did) Called Nunderful. Heh.

WOW, i was told that the play was very, um what that word I'm looking for, rated R almost!!!! My neoghbor directed the play once a couple yrs back, iw anted to go see it!!!!! But just by readint hat excerpt from the play, I missed a very good play even if it is highly rated!!!! But it would have been very funny to sit down and watch it!!!!!!!!!!!

If you take the more "suggestive" things with a grain of salt and laughter, then the show is great! And there's some really good commentary on Church history to boot. It is a wonderful show.

I must admit individual songs taken out of the context of the show can be a bit too off colour for some. Also, it's WAY better when you listen to it or see the show. Reading just doesn't give the whole flavour!

I found this to be offensive, but what it says made me laugh...

I tink being able to laugh at oneself or ones faith/beliefs is a near virtue
