MARYLIN MONROE

Once I had a husband, you know the sort of chap
I met him at a dance and how he came on with the chat
He said me eyes were deep blue pools, me skin was soft as snow
He told me I was sexier than Marilyn Monroe
And we went dancing
We went dancing
Then, of course, I found that I was six weeks overdue
We got married at the registry and then we had a do
We all had curly salmon sandwiches and how the ale did glow
They said the bride was lovelier than Marilyn Monroe
And we went dancing
We went dancing
Then the baby came along, we called him Darren Wayne
And three months on I found that I was in the club again
Though I still fancied dancing, me husband wouldn't go
With a wife he said was twice the size of Marilyn Monroe
No more dancing
No more dancing
By the time that I was twenty five, I looked like forty two
With seven hungry mouths to feed and one more nearly due
Me husband, he walked out on me a month or two ago
With a girl they say who looks a bit like Marilyn Monroe
They go dancing
They go dancing
