With a tiny little mustache

CHORUS:
Do you know how they go?

In the Rectory Basement
Father Riley's a fairy
But it don't bother Mary

CHORUS:
Do you know how they go?
FATHER RILEY:
Catholic Girls
CHORUS:
There can be no replacement
How do they go,
After the show?
JOE:
All the way
That's the way they go
Every day
And none of their mamas ever seem to know
Hip-Hip-Hooray
For all the class they show
There's nothing like a Catholic Girl
At the CYO
When they learn to blow...
FATHER RILEY:
They're learning to blow
All the Catholic Boys!
MARY:
Warren Cuccurullo...
FATHER RILEY:

Kinda young, kinda WOW!

CHORUS:
With a tongue like a cow
She could make you go WOW!
JOE:
VD vowdy vootie
Right away
That's the way they go
Every day
Whenever their mamas take them to a show
Matinee
Pass the popcorn please
There's nothing like a Catholic Girl
With her hand in the box
When she's on her knees
FATHER RILEY:
She was on her knees,
My little Catholic Girl
CHORUS:
In a little white dress
FATHER RILEY:
Catholic Girls
CHORUS:
They never confess
FATHER RILEY:
Catholic Girls
CHORUS:
I got one for a cousin
I love how they go
So send me a dozen
FATHER RILEY:
Catholic Girls
CHORUS:
OOOOOOH!
FATHER RILEY:
Catholic Girls
CHORUS:
OOOOOOH!

CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER:
This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER... Joe had a girl friend named Mary. She used to go the church club every week. They'd meet each other there, hold hands and think Pure Thoughts. But one night at the Social Club meeting Mary didn't show up... She was sucking cock backstage at The Armory in order to get a pass to see some big rock group for free...
