Zappa, Frank - Catholic Girls Lyrics






[Act I]

[SCENE THREE]
[CATHOLIC GIRLS]

A festive CYO party with crepe paper streamers, contestants
for the broom dance, the , baked goods, & FATHER RILEY
making sure the lights don't go down too low...

[FATHER RILEY AND VARIOUS PARTY GOERS:]
Catholic Girls
With a tiny little mustache
Catholic Girls
Do you know how they go?
Catholic Girls
In the Rectory Basement
Father Riley's a fairy
But it don't bother Mary
Catholic Girls
At the CYO
Catholic Girls
Do you know how they go?
Catholic Girls
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:] Catholic Boys!

[MARY:]
Kinda young, kinda WOW!

[FATHER RILEY:]
Catholic Boys!

[MARY:]
Vinnie Colaiuta...

[CHORUS:]
Where are they now?
Did they all take The Vow?

[FATHER RILEY:] Catholic Girls!

[WARREN:]
Carmenita Scarfone!

[FATHER RILEY:] Catholic Girls!

[OFFICER BUTZIS:]
Hey! She gave me VD!

[FATHER RILEY:]
Catholic Girls!

[WARREN:]
Toni Carbone!

[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

[LARRY:]
She was on her knees,
My little Catholic Girl

[CHORUS:]
In a little white dress
Catholic Girls
They never confess
Catholic Girls
I got one for a cousin
I love how they go
So send me a dozen
Catholic Girls
OOOOOOH!
Catholic Girls
OOOOOOH! [etc.]

[CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER:]
This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER...
Joe had a girl friend named Mary.
She used to go to 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...

    Joe had a girl friend named Mary.
    They would meet each other at the Social Club.
    Hold hands
    And think Pure Thoughts
    But one night, at the Social Club meeting...

  6. M.... W....

    Choking on pubes....best song EVER!!!

  9. P.... N....

    Zappa is still around its Dweezil go see Dweezil Zappa his band is fucking awesome

  10. j.... ....

    We were in high school when we bought our first Zappa 8 track. Woosh!! he was just so different that we would blast with all the windows down ad 100% his I think it was Anca roads? anyway we loved Zappa in Cleveland as kids!

  11. J.... D....

    There are 61 idiots out here that don't know a master at work. They'll end up working in a gas station...

    YE'R A SAD LOT .if thats all ye come up with on Daily basis .

  16. D.... S....

    One good thing that I admire Frank for is pissing off certain groups of people . He pissed the right wing religious groups off big time . Tipper Gore and her ilk tried to put the zipper on old Franks mouth and spent tons of your tax money trying to cencor Frank Zappa and the free spirited rock comunity . Thank Zappa for upholding the truth ànd defending our freedom for musicial expression and social commentary. I also think his musicianship is bonified genuis.

  17. A.... M....

    Wtf💀😮😂

  18. K.... C....

    Top ten Mr Frank Zappa you bad boy .

  19. M.... ....

    Frank Zappa is Filthy Frank for Boomers.
    That is a very big compliment, for all y'all boomers.

    M.... ....

    Holy shit that's one of the best analogies for anything I've ever heard

  20. S.... B....

    Go Catholic Girls !! we always got shit … I think satan had our number ,...…

  21. S.... T....

    4:20 👽

  22. M.... W....

    Ahhhh, to have been a Catholic boy....religion isn’t always that bad. Thanks, Frank - miss you!

  23. F.... ....

    VERY NEOPOLITAN....................(blow me)....................(gesundheit)

  24. T.... I....

    Big views, little likes

  25. d.... ....

    Musically impeccable and funny as fudge

  26. l.... w....

    Every Tuesday night the pope locks all the doors in vatican, cranks this up real loud, and leads a conga line of bishops as the dance to this.

    l.... w....

    the name would be catholic boys then lol

  27. s.... ....

    My very first Zappa I ever heard. I was blown away. Billy The Mountain.

    s.... ....

    As a Canadian, "Magdelana" has a special place in my heart...Side 2.

  28. Z.... C....

    I like how, after all the hubbub over Jewish Princess from the last album, Zappa struck back with this to give equal and fair treatment to Catholics as well as Jews, and he threw in the melody from Jewish Princess as a wink. 3:17 Zappa!

    Z.... C....

    He was all for equality! 😂 Two of my favorite songs, man...

  29. A.... ....

    Vinnie Colaiuta - became a VERY BIG FAN of him after hearing this........think I find 'Crew Slut' now......

  30. T.... N....

    47 priests didnt like this song.😜

  31. R.... J....

    I can be in THE WORST mood, and put this on and start laughing and smiling. The Man was, is, a GENIUS!!

  32. D.... L....

    Dkm lol

  33. Z.... T....

    Catholic Girls - How do they go?
    When did they come from?
    What has become of them now?

  34. a.... r....

    Father Riley's a fairy, but it don't bother Mary

  35. V.... A....

    "I love how they go, so, send me a dozen"

  36. V.... P....

    Came here for a listen after my friend posted about it on FB. Thanks to Robin for the flashback!

  37. N.... G....

    Wicked bass

  38. N.... G....

    Hope that guitar's 18🔞🔞

  39. K.... ....

    When I grew up in the city we had a Catholic girls school not too far away from where I was, and I can tell you that this song is completely true.
    Most Catholic school girls I knew were total sluts.

  40. J.... A....

    zappa is creepy as fuck

  41. K.... C....

    Oh you said send me a dozen hey ?? Fuck ....

  42. K.... C....

    Who feels dizzy .

  43. W.... V....

    Catholic girls(boys) with little mustaches. Are little boys that fathers picked up their butt holes. Upon their souls they took a toll. A crime under Modern Civilazation punishment DEATH. Since they think they ate above the law. Here comes a dragon claw

  44. P.... H....

    I'VE GREW UP LISTENING TO ZAPPA AND HIS MUSIC HAS HELPED ME THROUGH SOME OF THE HARDEST TIMES IN MY LIFE AND BROUGHT A SMILE TO MY FACE. R.I.P. BROTHER.

    P.... H....

    Me too! I saw him numerous times in the late 70’s and early 80’s, absolutely love him and was crushed when he passed! Going thru some trying times, he definitely lifts my spirits - and I remember every word😂😂😂

    P.... H....

    @Tammy Abbott Lucky!

  60. P.... A....

    ...they're almost too easy. No game. I wouldn't have it any other way though. There can be NO replacement!

  61. W.... V....

    Yeah the like to use little boys as their sexual toys. Proving by the sexual crimes against minors. No wonder they want high pitch young boys in their chiots. Hell Laws of Modern Civilization that crime is death sentence

    W.... V....

    R.... M....

    Rich Martzeni this is one of his more annoying ones. I recommend you listen to dont eat the yellow snow, or i am the slime.

    Y.... B....

    masturbación

  79. D.... M....

  80. g.... l....

    Frank grew up in my neighborhood. He's dead now.

  83. p.... ....

    the voice of that girl

    p.... ....

    Dale Bozzio. later to front Missing Persons.

    p.... ....

    Warren Cucurullo was in Missing Persons too & later in the 80s w Duran Duran too.

    p.... ....

    @Rusty Kuntz Hes was from from Nabe. His brother played drums on one of the first songs I wrote and recorded.

  84. g.... c....

    "music is the best_ F.Z.

  85. D.... N....

    Me an' a dude from NY on drums played FZ songs at a Greek club back in the early 70's, at the time I was in love (trying to get to first base) with a young Italian girl. yup she had it under the nose above her lip, just that hint of things to come... BTW never did get any.

  86. s.... ....

    masterpiece

  87. L.... ....

    Proselytizers from the Church of Zappa brought me here... Nice young gentlemen, virtually indistinguishable from Mormons, save for the bikes... they were on those Mexican street-vendor trikes, with two wheels at the front and a basket slung low in between. One guy had an old Garrard turntable hooked up to some ancient hand-made speakers through a tube amp, the other had Zappa's discography on vinyl, all original pressings... now as exceptional as these two were, I have a firm stance against solicitors of any kind, but I was also out of weed that day, and they offered to load a bowl, so I hosted them on my porch, we passed around my bubbler, and they hit me with Nanook Rubs It. Trippy, man...

  88. B.... B....

    I only just now noticed that "jewish princess" plays at the end

    B.... B....

    Conceptual continuity of the religium kind

    B.... B....

    No, "Crew Slut" follows this. "Jewish Princess" is on "Shiek Yerbouti."

    B.... B....

    @WhiteCamry Reading comprehension ...

  89. J.... ....

    It's about human nature, guys!

  90. T.... ....

    Is it normal for Warren Cuccurullo to appear in my dreams?

    T.... ....

    I dont know?He played the guitar on this album

    T.... ....

    Bald and naked? No, that is not normal.

    T.... ....

    I think so.Too bad you cant ask Frank.But Dr. Mitchell said no and hes the Dr.

  91. c.... ....

    This world, in this day and age, needs more Zappa.

    c.... ....

    Jewish princesses and Bobby brown agree

    c.... ....

    Check Discordianism, Robert Anton Wilson. 😈

    c.... ....

    Danny Browns'-XXX album like a Detroit raised modern day Zappa.

    c.... ....

    Nah, today's snowflake society would not be able to handle Zappa.

    c.... ....

    OMG if Zappa was around today! TRIGGERED EMOTIONS would fly!

    ZAPPA RULES

  92. A.... K....

    The irony is the Catholic girl i dated a few years ago cheated on me. And her catholic sister did have a tiny mustache.

    A.... K....

    Miguel Bravo Why does it hurt when I pee?

    A.... K....

    Is she single?😉

    A.... K....

    I was a Catholic girl...until the age of 18! Then all hell broke loose. 😃😮😃👍

    A.... K....

    That's the way the go..

    A.... K....

    Did she give you v. d.?

  93. M.... ....

    Wonderful song.

  94. J.... C....

    2               DAY

  95. C.... ....

    Rest in peace musical genius and brilliant satirist, Frank Zappa. Thanks for posting!

  96. R.... C....

    According to Franz Liszt, F-sharp major was the heavenly key. I'm seeing irony here, and I wouldn't put it past Frank for it to be deliberate.

    R.... C....

    This song it's mostly F# mixolydian

    R.... C....

    @Guitarists Suck why isn't it called g flat m(ij)or? And what is mixolydian? I myself like the dorian mode - has Zappa recorded anything in that?

    R.... C....

    Everything he did was deliberate man.
