Sisters are doin’ it for themselves.  
Standin’ on their own two feet.  
And ringin’ on their own bells.  
Sisters are doin’ it for themselves.

Sail away sweet sister  
Sail across the sea  
Maybe you’ll find somebody  
To love you half as much as me  
My heart is always with you  
No matter what you do  
Sail away sweet sister  
I’ll always be in love with you

All the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone  
They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can’t go on  
And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song  
Oh, I hope you run into them, you who’ve been travelling so long

On Thursday night she looked a fright  
Her prickly hair all curled, oh Lord, what a sight  
Dance, dance, little sister, dance

On Friday night she’s all decked out  
Her high heel shoes, her dress so tight  
Dance, dance little sister, dance

Sister Christian, oh, the time has come  
And you know that you’re the only one to say, “Okay”  
Where you going? What you looking for?  
You know those boys don’t want to play no more with you, it’s true

Good Christian men, rejoice  
with heart and soul and voice;  
give ye heed to what we say:  
Jesus Christ was born today.  
Ox and ass before him bow,  
and he is in the manger now.  
Christ is born today!  
Christ is born today!

I don’t care if it rains or freezes  
Long as I got my plastic Jesus  
Riding on the dashboard of my car.  
Through my trials and tribulations  
And my travels through the nations  
With my plastic Jesus I’ll go far.  
Plastic Jesus plastic Jesus,  
Riding on the dashboard of my car

How lucky can one guy be?  
I kissed her and she kissed me  
Like the fella once said, “Ain’t that a kick in the head?”

Us girls, we are so magical  
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable  
Hard to resist, so touchable  
Too good to deny it  
Ain’t no big deal, it’s innocent

I kissed a girl and I liked it  
The taste of her cherry Chapstick

Because my bartender – she’s from the islands,  
Her body’s been kissed by the sun.  
And coconut replaces the smell of the bar  
And I don’t know if it’s her or the rum.

It’s sleeping, it’s a-beating

Right there in that jar?
