Traditional - Marianne lyrics

All day

all night

Marianne

down by the seaside siftin' sand.

Even little children love Marianne

down by the seaside siftin' 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.

My

my

yes.

When she walks along the shore

people pause to greet.

White birds fly around her

little fish come to her feet.

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 Motherinlaw (phooey)

Children by the dozen

in and out the bamboo hut

one for ev'ry palm tree and cokynut.

Hurry up now.

All day

all night

Marianne

down by the seaside siftin' sand.

Even little children love Marianne

down by the seaside siftin' sand.
