Mary Long

Mary Long (Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice) From "Who Do We Think We Are" 1973 Intro: VERSE-1: 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 Sun-day Chronicle CHORUS: How did you lose your virginity Ma-ry Long ? When will you lose your stupidity Mary Long ? VERSE-2: 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 CHORUS: How did you lose your virginity Mary Long ? When will you lose your stupidity Mary Long ? VERSE-3 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 CHORUS: How did you lose your virginity Mary Long ? When will you lose your stupidity Mary Long ?
