| Bridget O'Reilly was a fine looking girl | |
| Well, her skin was like ivory and her teeth shone like | |
| Pearls | |
| The fellas all chased her in vain til one day | |
| She went and got married to Barney O'Shea | |
| They'd been married a year, when to their pride and joy | |
| Along came a baby, a fine strapping boy | |
| When three years had past, they'd two boys and a girl | |
| How to feed them and clothe them made Bridget's head | |
| Whirl | |
| Bridget went to the priest, she was near desperation | |
| Because of this process of constant gestation | |
| O Father, this business is making me I'll | |
| Would it be a sin if I took to the Pill? | |
| The priest heard her story and when he had heard it | |
| To higher authorities, perplexed, he referred it | |
| The bishops were baffled, the cardinals too | |
| Not one could tell Bridget just what she should do | |
| Two years they debated with holy profundity | |
| What should be done about Bridget's fecundity | |
| For now Bridget's children amounted to five | |
| And she scarcely was able to keep them alive | |
| They gave due attention to points theological | |
| Points philosophic and physiological | |
| Til in desperation, the Pope cried, o sod | |
| There's just one thing to do, I'd best go and ask God | |
| So the Pope sent a letter by five penny post | |
| On Papal notepaper, addressed, Holy Ghost | |
| Come send me an answer in double quick time | |
| You can reach me at home, just ring vat 69 | |
| The Pope got his answer and then he announced it | |
| Oral contraception, he thoroughly denounced it | |
| All chemical means to prevent procreation | |
| Are banned on the pain or eternal damnation | |
| If we were to allow it, unashamed fornication | |
| Would spread like a flash to all parts of the nation | |
| There'd be plagues, fire, and famine and moral | |
| Pollution | |
| Atheistical notions and red revolution | |
| And the Lord knows what women would do with their lives | |
| If they weren't kept so busy as mothers and wives | |
| They might get ideas not befitting their station | |
| And wind up in women's or gay liberation | |
| So Bridget, my dear, there's no need for frustration | |
| Because of the banning of this medication | |
| The Church, she is merciful, holy, and gracious | |
| Surely the old rhythm method you'll find efficacious | |
| Away now, said Bridget, I'll have none of your row | |
| For I tried it before and just look at me now | |
| Whatever I did, we continued to breed | |
| And she's off to the chemists with maximum speed | |
| Now the Church is in ferment, in great trepidation | |
| Lest such thought should spread to the whole | |
| Congregation | |
| And they've issued a record to prevent a schism | |
| By the Pope and the Hierarchy, called, I've got rhythm |
