Just to keep this on track & make it this into a music thread, the following is a (what else?) pumping shanty.

Priests & Nuns:

A priest in Austria thought one day

1st Ch: Ho, Ho, Ho

He'd go to France without delay

2nd Ch: Haul a raul a rye, haul a raul a ray

He'd go to France without delay

3rd Ch: Haul a raul a ray, Ho, Ho

So when the father came to France
Ho, Ho, Ho
T'was seven sick nuns he found by chance
Haul a raul a rye, haul a raul a ray
T'was seven sick nuns he found by chance
Haul a raul a ray, Ho, Ho

He saw these nuns in the convent yard
All laying down on benches hard (2X)

He gave these nuns his calling card
And asked "may I come in your yard"

To one he asked what he might do
"For I'm both priest & doctor too"

A sick nun then made quick reply
Said "father treat me e'r I die"

He took in hand his medicine stick
And he touched that nun so very quick

The others ran that they might see
And asked the priest what could it be

A medicine stick in my hand I hold
To cure all sick nuns in my fold

Another nun that lay close by
Cried "father none so sick as I"

He treated all the nuns alike
And said he'd call another night

Their money gone they looked in vain
For the priest that carried the medicine cane
