Jeremy Bender was a man of leisure
F#m7         G           Em7      A
took his pleasure in the evening sun
D        C          G        Bm7
Laid him down in a bed of roses
F#m7       G          Em7    A   D
finally decided to become a nun

D               C      G             Bm7
Talk with the sister spoke in a whisper
F#m7         G                Em7         A
threatened to fist her if she didn't come clean
D             C      G           Bm7
Jumped on the mother just like a brother
F#m7       G             Em7      A   D
asked one another if the other's is a queen

[Verse 3]
D            C      G        Bm7
Diggin' the sister she was a mister
F#m7              G                Em7         A
shouldn't have kissed her but he couldn't say no
D         C         G           Bm7
Wanted to leave her couldn't believe her
F#m7       G             Em7              A   D
so he picked up his suit-case and decided to go
