MARIANNE

     CHORUS:
     All day, all night, Marianne
     Down by the seaside sifting sand
     Even little children love Marianne
     Down by the seaside sifting sand.

When she walks along the shore, people pause to greet
Seagulls fly around her, little fish come to her feet.
In her heart there's love but I'm the only mortal man
Who's allowed to kiss my Marianne (CHORUS)

Marianne, oh Marianne oh won't you marry me
We could have a bamboo hut with brandy in the tea
Leave your fat old mama home she never will say yes
If Mama' don't know now, she can guess. (CHORUS)

When we marry we will have a time you never saw
I will be so happy I will kiss me mother in law (Phooey!)
Children by the dozens running round the bamboo hut,
One for every pine tree and coconut! (CHORUS)

Before the chorus, one of the groups that sang it (the Kingston trio?) would shout out a phrase, "My, My Now," "Hurry Up Now," "Don't Rush Me!" etc.

Hope I got all the verses. Rita
