Thread Name: Lyr Req: Marianne (from Easy Riders)
Subject: RE: Lyric Request: Marianne
You discovered a song while searching for lobsters? Geez Rita, have that old codger take you to a nice seafood restaurant!!!

You know I've been thinking of this song since childhood...my Mom was nuts for it too, like John's parents. All I can remember is the chorus (until now), but it's one of those tunes that pass through your head every now and then. Strikes me that Marianne was a dull sort, doing nothing but sitting on a beach 24/7. And why the hell would you sift beach sand to begin with?

Aw, forget it......But have the old skinflint take you out to dinner anyway!
