Lyrics The Tiger Lillies

The Tiger Lillies

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's...

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 ...
