It's not the number of times he tried to
But the one time that he did
I once told him to beware of things to come,
But I was the one who should be scared
All the police and handcuffs didn't bother him
He's sure that God would understand
Oh, the killings in the convent hall
The cleaning bill was outrageous
Gavin killed a nun:
"She had it coming and she got what she deserved"
God helps those who help themselves
All the kids at recess rallied for his cause
The paid their lunch money for his bail
For all the times he tried to do it
He finally got it right
All the kids in school just think of Gavin
As a folk hero because school's let out all day
Sister Mary's yardstick once broke Gavin's hand,
but now Gavin's set things right
Sister Mary's yardstick once broke Gavin's hand,
but now Gavin's sent Sister Mary to the promised land
Gavin killed a nun:
"She had it coming and she got what she deserved"
God helps those who help themselves
All the kids at recess rallied for his cause
The paid their lunch money for his bail
Gavin killed a nun:
"She had it coming and she got what she deserved"
God helps those who help themselves
All the kids at recess rallied for his cause
The paid their lunch money for his bail
Yeah!
