Subject: Lyr Add: OUR MARY ANN IS WITH A HAIRY MAN (Ronnies
Another song from the above-mentioned album, transcribed by me. Only the phrase “Fetch Pa quick” is uncertain. This one begins at 13:25 in the video.

OUR MARY ANN IS WITH A HAIRY MAN
Words by Ronnie Barker
As recorded by The Two Ronnies (Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett) on “Jehosophat and Jones” (1973)

1: There's a girl down our street, pretty as can be.
Mary Ann's her name and she never smiles at me.
She likes men with whiskers, and when she's about
With her latest fella, why, the kids all shout—

CHORUS: Our Mary Ann is with a hairy man.
Our Mary Ann is with a hairy man.
Fetch Pa quick and stop it if you can,
'Cos a hairy man is dallyin’ with our Mary Ann.

2. Once she went a-gatherin’ watercress for tea.
Down by the creek she saw a man behind a tree.
She knew he was a Scotsman because his knees were bare,
But when she saw his sporran, why, she went quite spare.

3. One day her uncle took her to the zoo.
She saw the lions and tigers and the baby kangaroo;
But when a big gorilla snarled at her with rage.
She gave a little giggle and she jumped inside the cage.
