(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)
From "Who Do We Think We Are", 1973
Intro: Gm
VERSE-1:
[Gm]Mary Long is a h[Bb/G]ypocrite
She d[C/G]oes all the things that she tells us not to [Gm]do
[Gm]Selling filth from a corner sh[Bb/G]op
And kni[C/G]tting patterns to the high street qu[Gm]eue
[Gm]She paints roses, even [Bb/G]makes them smell good
And t[C/G]hen she draws titties on the khazy w[Gm]all
[Gm]Drowns kittens just to [Bb/G]get a thrill
[C/G]And writes sermons in the [Gm]Sun-day Chronicle
CHORUS:
[Eb]How did you l[Bb]ose your virginity, M[F]a-[C]ry L[Gm]ong ?
[Bb]When will you l[F]ose your stupidity, M[C7]ary 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 ?
