Musical Sister Act I
Take Me To Heaven
Deloris, Mary Patrick, Mary Lazarus, Mary Robert,
Monsignor Howard: Welcome this Sunday morning, oh ye few, but faithful.
The choir, I am told, has been working diligently all week under a new director, Sister Mary Clarence who will now lead them in sacred hymn. Sisters,
Benedicta tu in mulieribus et,
Benedictus Fructus ventris tui
Iesus, Iesus!
Mother Superior: Sisters, that's the loveliest you've ever sound
Deloris: A-One-two-three-FOUR!
Hey ther are, folks! Hot off their novenas blisterin' with sisterhood.
Queen of Angels is proud to present the Divas who Believe-a, the Nuns with the Fun, voulez vous prier avec-- The Little Sisters of our Mother of Perpetual Faith!
I've been thinkin' aboutcha since receivin' your call
Can't see livin' withoutcha, you've got me mind,
Soul, body and all.
Pray and I pray ev'ry night and each day
Hopin' that you'll drop a line
Pray and I pray 'til you sweep me away
Straight to cloud number nine!
You are simply too divine!
Take me to heaven!
Take me to ecstasy! (Ecstasy!)
I'll give you all I've got, 'cause nothin's as hot
as when you groove with me
No, no, no, no!
And when you strut your stuff and do your thing,
I just can't help surrendering!
You're so strong, you're so sweet,
You're what makes me complete
I just worship at your feet
Take me to heaven!
Take me to kingdom come!
I'll take any vow, just take me now!
Mother Superior: Monsignor, I'm shocked I don't know what to say!
Monsignor Howard: Neither do I! Look, people are coming in off the street to hear them!
Don't be shy! Plenty of room in the front pew! You're not late, it's never too late to encounter the sacred mysteries of our Lord!
Ooh, baby, I wanna praise your name to the skies!
You know just how to thrill me Ah
Mother Superior: What are you doing?!
Deloris: Puttin' booties in the seaties, Mama!
Ooh, baby, I've given up on all other guys!
Only you can fulfill me Ah
Mother Superior: Sister Mary Clarence!
Deloris: Be with ya in a sec, I'm workin the room!
Take me to heaven!
Take me to paradise!
Give me your healing touch, I need it so much!
Ah and oh it feels so nice
Just tell me what you want, Ooh, yeah!
I can't refuse (Oh, baby!)
Day or night, I'm yours to use! (Hah... Hah Hoo!)
I'll get on my knees, just take me please!
Deloris: If you like our sound, folks, shake your pockets to the beat!
And toss whatever you find in the offering basket, so we can keep giving the love to The Man Up Above!
Don't know how you do what you do, (Unh-unh!)
It's like you're almost too good to be true, (Unh-unh!)
You're my hope! You're my dream!
You rock my world!
You reign supreme!
Mother Superior: Mary Patrick, oh dear Lord! Mary Lazarus! You know better than this!
You put the boogie (Uh!)
into my soul! You got the boogie (Uh!)
Makes me lose control! (Beep beep!)
Hoo hoo hoo!
My booty's headin' for a special place,
Where people shake it, baby,
Wrapped in love's embrace!
Mother Superior: No! Not little Mary Robert!
