Mary

Mary's in the back room
She's more than I can afford
Mary's going down
Going down on the Lord
Mary's had the bishop
Mary's had the Pope
And each one of them
Filled Mary with religious hope
Yes, Mary's going down on the Lord
(On the Lord)
Yeah, Mary's going down on the Lord
(On the Lord)
Well, Mary's had an angel
And Mary's had a saint
And Mary had the Devil
And he made her feel faint
As each one of those
Mary she does grope
Mary's always filled
With religious hope
Mary's going down on the Lord
(On the Lord)
Mary attends to all their holy needs
And they all fill Mary
With their holy seed
They're so generous
With their collection tins
That Mary she feels purged
Of all her mortal sins
Mary's going down on the Lord
(On the Lord)
Well, Mary's most regular
He's a holy monk
Mary swears that monk
Has got a reservoir of spunk
She dresses for him
As a holy nun
But always fakes it
When his kingdom comes
Mary's going down on the Lord
