Traditional Marianne
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.
