Marianne Lyrics

Marianne lyrics

Marianne, Oh, Marianne, Oh won't you marry me?

We can have a bamboo hut
and brandy in the tea,

Leave your fat old Nanna home,

She never
will say yes.

If mamma don't know now,

She can guess, my, my,
yes.



All night, all day, Marianne,

Down by the seaside
sifting sand.

Even little children love Marianne,

Down by the
seaside sifting sand.



When she walks along the shore,

People
pause to greet,

While 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.



All night, all
day, Marianne,

Down by the seaside sifting sand.

Even little
children love Marianne,

Down by the seaside sifting sand.



When we marry, we will have

A time you never saw,

I will be so
happy,

I will kiss my mother-in-law.

Children by the dozen, in and
out the bamboo hut,

One for every palm tree, and cok-y-nut, Hurry up
now.



All night, all day, Marianne,

Down by the seaside
sifting sand.

Even little children love Marianne,

Down by the
seaside sifting sand.
