Margie the Midget

Lyrics

I spent a lovely boyhood Hitching rides on passing trains I was lying in the window With my aches against the panes But now I'm sitting on a houseboat Tied to a wharf Come and see me today Sitting on a houseboat, I got married to a dwarf Come and see us anyway I married a midget Why not? I thought about it an awful lot And I couldn't think of any reason that didn't seem small And when I thought just a little, a little more about it I couldn't think of any, any reason at all Keep on your toes, my midget bride You're just as tall as a rose And three dozen wide When folks come over, Margie Honey, you don't have to hide I love you little midget, every way that we've tried She makes me feel about 11 feet tall Heaven looks after the folks that are small You know, people write in and they're asking "how do you ball?" Well, love is the answer, and we answer 'em all And then we go walkin' Hand in ankle Down to the dock Ready to sail away Walkin' hand in ankle She's got her arm around my... sock Ready to sail away today
