Marianne

(Love her in the day time)

(Love her in the night time)

Anytime we love's the right time

All night, all day, Marianne

Down by the seaside sifting sand

Even little children love Marianne

(Everybody love her)

Down by the seaside sifting sand

Marianne, oh, Marianne

Oh, won't you marry me

We can have a bamboo hut

And brandy in the tea

Leave your fat old mama home

She never will say yes

If mama don't know now

She can guess, oh, my, yes

When she walks along the shore

People pause to greet

White birds fly around her

Little fish come to her feet

(How delightful)

In her heart is love

But I'm the only mortal man

Who's allowed to kiss my Marianne

Don't rush me

When we marry, we will have

A time you never saw

I will be so happy

I will kiss my mother-in-law

(Ha ha ha ha)

Children by the dozen

In and out the bamboo hut

One for every palm tree

And coconut (hurry up now)

All night, all day

Marianne, Marianne
