drowns kittens just to get a thrill
C/G Gm
and writes sermons in the Sun-day chronicle
Eb Bb F C Gm
how did you lose your virginity, Ma-ry Long ?
Bb F C7
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 ?
