I Love Mary
I love Mary.
My favourite song on the record.
Makes the whole thing worth the exorbitant price you're being asked to pay for it.
I love Mary
Shy, little, blue-eyed Mary
Warm and glowing as an Autumn sky
Sweet, sweet Mary
Never a bit contrary
And I'll love her 'til the day I die
But I'm going out with a blousy old trout called Sadie
She's right on the ball but she ain't what you call a lady
But she's twice as rich as Croesus
Sleeps in golden fleeces
And when I see the dough, my principles go to
P... p... pieces
I'm weak in the head when it comes to the ready money
Just jingle the tin, very soon I'll begin to dance
And though I love Mary
Pretty little Mary
Mary doesn't stand a chance
Yes, I've got a date with a crabby old crate called Sadie
Got a face like a cart and believe me she's not a lady
As a beauty, she's a stumer
But I keep my sense of humour
I could stomach the lot as long as she's got that
Old mazuma
So I put out the cat and I do this and that for Sadie
And if I keep my health I can end up a wealthy man
And though I love Mary
Gentle little Mary
Mary doesn't suit my plan
Mary's just an also-ran
My favourite song on the record.
Makes the whole thing worth the exorbitant price you're being asked to pay for it.
I love Mary
Shy, little, blue-eyed Mary
Warm and glowing as an Autumn sky
Sweet, sweet Mary
Never a bit contrary
And I'll love her 'til the day I die
But I'm going out with a blousy old trout called Sadie
She's right on the ball but she ain't what you call a lady
But she's twice as rich as Croesus
Sleeps in golden fleeces
And when I see the dough, my principles go to
P... p... pieces
I'm weak in the head when it comes to the ready money
Just jingle the tin, very soon I'll begin to dance
And though I love Mary
Pretty little Mary
Mary doesn't stand a chance
Yes, I've got a date with a crabby old crate called Sadie
Got a face like a cart and believe me she's not a lady
As a beauty, she's a stumer
But I keep my sense of humour
I could stomach the lot as long as she's got that
Old mazuma
So I put out the cat and I do this and that for Sadie
And if I keep my health I can end up a wealthy man
And though I love Mary
Gentle little Mary
Mary doesn't suit my plan
Mary's just an also-ran
