My Italian girlfriends
dressed up on Sundays

00:00:10.830 --> 00:00:13.110 align:middle line:90%
in dresses and heels.

00:00:13.110 --> 00:00:18.120 align:middle line:84%
They told me they were going
to eat chinks after confession.

00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:21.030 align:middle line:84%
I thought that this was
either someone's house

00:00:21.030 --> 00:00:23.400 align:middle line:90%
or the name of a restaurant.

00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:27.120 align:middle line:84%
Little did I know, they
were headed for Chinatown.

00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:30.840 align:middle line:84%
Not having any spending money
and never going to church,

00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:32.640 align:middle line:90%
I never joined them.

00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:35.500 align:middle line:84%
We went our separate
ways on Sundays.
