Marianne

Oh, marianne
Please dont marry that insurance man

I just saw your picture in the paper
Surrounded by extensive wedding plans
Tell me this is just one of your capers
Say you havent met with their demands

Chorus:
Oh, marianne
Love talks cheap and faster than I can
Oh, marianne
Please dont marry that insurance man

I cant see you packing up his lunches
I cant see you diapering his son
Youre the girl who always played her hunches
So howd you figure out that this was one

Chorus

Im not saying I grew up in love with you
Im sayin, why grow up at all?

So tell that hoosier boy to put on clean socks
And the finest double-knits that he can wear
cause when that invitation hits my mailbox
Ill see you at his funeral, my dear

Chorus
