I LOVE MARY ANN
As sung by Leslie Sarony, 1929 or 1931 (depending on whom you believe).

You've heard of Cleopatra and noble Joan of Arc,
But when you see my Mary Ann, she puts them in the dark.
What a great sensation as we walk side by side!
But I don't care what people say; she's going to be my bride.

I love Mary Ann; Mary Ann loves me.
I'm her new young man; she's my fiancée [pronounced fye-an-see].
Though she's forty-four in June,
Figure like a tight balloon,
She's got a lacy ...(?),
So I love Mary Ann.

Our wedding day draws nearer; I'm longing for the fray.
I'm going to chain her to my side in case she runs away.
All the town's invited; there'll be a lovely spread.
Next morning she can go to work while I stay home in bed.

I love Mary Ann; Mary Ann loves me.
I'm her new young man; she's my fiancée.
Though her health is very poor,
Cannot bear to scrub the floor,
They've given us a house next door,
So I love Mary Ann.

I love Mary Ann; Mary Ann loves me.
I'm her new young man; she's my fiancée.
Though her past is very black,
And her morals rather slack,
Her bank account would fill a sack,
So I love Mary Ann.

I love Mary Ann; Mary Ann loves me.
I'm her new young man; she's my fiancée.
Though she's very fond of gin,
Cultivates a double chin,
I'm in her will as next of kin,
So I love Mary Ann.
