The Buffoons - Sister Theresa's East River Orphanage lyrics

Sister Theresa, leading the orphans On a cold winter's day Up on the rooftop Danny would watch them Poor little soft on their way Danny was tough, king of the jungle A fool in the eyes of the most He never tasted love or affection No one ever had time Every night Danny had a dream He saw the orphans chasing him over mountains of icecream Hear the churchbells ringing Sister Theresa's singing All the children singing Ave Maria Then one night, down in the corner Danny robbed a store Ran with the money And put it under the orphanages floor Father Sam Clamcy stands in the hallway, waiting for Danny to come Fires are shot only after telling him not to come Danny laid dying in the cold and lonely place And Clamcy couldn't understand the smile on Danny's face Hear the churchbells ringing Sister Theresa's singing All the children singing Ave Maria
