The Flying Nun

Original Air Dates: 1967 - 1970 (ABC)

Location: Puerto Rico

  The lyrics were sung in the sixth episode (October 5, 1967), but were never used as part of the theme.

Who needs wings to fly?  Certainly not I.
I prefer to take up on the breeze,
Follow any swallow that may please my fancy.

I just close my eyes, tiptoe through the skies.
Long as there's a habit standing by,
Who needs things like wings to fly?

 

ABOVE: Vintage lunch box (presumably most popular among Catholic girls)

 

RIGHT: Sally Field as Sister Betril and in a decidedly non-nun outfit.
