MARILYN MONROE
(Sydney Carter/Rory McEwen)

To Hollywood, to Hollywood, to Hollywood I'll go
And you will know me by the name of Marilyn Monroe
For soldiers and for sailors, I'll glitter and I'll glow
They'll wish that they could have a girl like Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn Monroe

I'll light a candle in the sky, where ever I may be
For those who have to walk alone and fear the dark like me
And all those lonely women, their names I'll never know
I'll glitter in the dark for them, said Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn Monroe

Abe Lincoln is my hero, said Marilyn Monroe
And Arthur Miller's more like him than anyone I know
Don't marry Arthur Miller, they say that he's a Red
They say he's Un-American, I'll marry him she said
Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn Monroe

Good-bye to Arthur Miller, alone again I go
God help the man who marries me, said Marilyn Monroe
It's up and down forever, my life is like the sea
And one day when I down, she said, will be the death of me
Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn Monroe

I hear the hounds behind my back, I know my voices well
But how the hunt will end, she said, is more than I can tell
I hear the hounds behind me, no matter where I go
Good luck to every hunted thing, said Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn Monroe

How long will they remember me, said Marilyn Monroe
How long will they remember me, when death has laid me low
As long as there are people on this old world below
There'll be another one like Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn Monroe
