Marianne, Oh, Marianne Oh, won't you marry me? We can have a bamboo hut With brandy in the tea Leave your fat old mama home She never will say yes If your mama don't know now She can guess (it's in the mail now!) All day, all night, Marianne Down by the seaside siftin' sand Even little children love Marianne Down by the seaside siftin' sand. When she walks along the shore People pause to greet White 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 (Everybody!) All day, all night, Marianne Down by the seaside siftin' sand Even little children love Marianne Down by the seaside siftin' sand. And when we marry, we will have A time you never saw I will be so happy I will kiss my mother-in-law (Phooey!) Children by the dozen In and out the bamboo hut One for every palm tree And cocunut (Don't rush me!) All day, all night, Marianne Down by the seaside siftin' sand Even little children love Marianne Down by the seaside siftin' sand. Down by the seaside siftin' sand...
