Marianne

Lyrics

[STJERBINKSY] Don't ever tell me That you've heard the cello For you've never met Marianne Don't talk of silver Or violet or yellow For you've never met Marianne Don't mention garnets Or pearls from Manilla Forget them as fast as you can Don't speak of ginger Or lime or vanilla Until you have kissed Marianne Don't ever mention The lights from the planets For you've never seen Marianne You pity the Jennys The Janes and the Janets The moment you've seen Marianne And so the one thing I'm positive of is That God made me one lucky man Gentlemen, sorry You won't know what love is Until you have loved Marianne And so the one thing I'm positive of is That God made me one lucky man Gentlemen, sorry You won't know what love is Until you have loved Marianne
