lyrics

If you’ve got someone who is special in your life
Maybe your old pet cockatoo, might even be your wife
You’ll know what its like, you will understand
That I’ve got a very special girl, her name is Maryanne

You know what its like, you know what its like
You may not know my Maryanne, but you know what its like

My girl, Maryanne walking down the street
She got a smile to make the day of everyone she meets
She’s got lots of friends, they all think she’s great
Dogs and children like her too, dogs and kids have taste

She got long brown curly hair and slightly pidgin toes
She got a song upon her lips, everywhere she goes
I like listening though she is tone deaf
I like the way she walks on home right foot after left

She goes shopping at, Salvation Army Stores
Gets better stuff than you might find, in a shopping mall
Picture frames and plates and cups, records of Jazz and folk

Lately I’ve been feeling great, something must be wrong
Getting home early staying straight, writing boring songs
What’s an artists life if there is no angst
“Did you enjoy your dinner dear, it was lovely thanks”

Me I sing these wholesome songs, up on stage at night
Maybe one day I’ll be a hit with the Christian right
But I don’t make much doe, in a world of greed
So long as I’ve got my Maryanne, I got all I need
