Mary Long - Lyrics by Deep Purple


Lyrics
Mary Long is a hypocrite       She does all the things that she tells us not to do       Selling filth from a corner shop       And knitting patterns to the high street queue       She paints roses, even makes them smell good       And then she draws titties on the khazy wall       Drowns kittens just to get a thrill       And writes sermons in the Sunday Chronicle       How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long ?       When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long ?       Mary told Johnny not to write such trash       Said it was a waste of public money       She made a fuss, they made apologies       But everybody thought the show was funny       When the nation knew you'd had children       It came as such a surprise       We really didn't know you'd had it in you       How you did it we can only surmise       How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long ?       When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long ?       Mary Long, you're not alone       But you're a long way behind our times       What we do in full frontal view       Is more honest than your clean-up mind       What I'm saying, Mary Long is       When you can spare a minute       Go find your friend the porny Lord       Dig your self a hole and jump in it       How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long ?       When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long ?
