MARYLIN MONROE II

The house we got was lovely
The neighbours are a treat
They sometimes fight on Saturday night
But never in the week
Since I pay me bills on time
The milkman insists I call him Joe
He brings bread and eggs, says I've got legs
Like Marilyn Monroe
And we go dancing
We go dancing
Our Sammy burnt the school down
Well it's very easily done
If the teacher lets the silly gets play
With magnesium
Thank god he only got probation
Well, the judge was old and slow
Though it was kind of him, said I reminded him
Of Marilyn Monroe

And can I take you dancing?
I'd love to take you dancing, milady
Our Mickey's just turned fourteen
Well, you know he's at that age
When you mention girls and courting
He flies into a rage
He's got a thing for taking blackheads out
He thinks that I don't know
That he dreams all night of girls that look
Like Marilyn Monroe
He's even started dancing
Simply dancing
As for the rest, they've flown the nest
Got married and moved away
Our Donna Marie's already got three
She's a bit like me that way
And that other child of mine
I haven't seen for years although
Each day I pray that he's okay
Unlike poor Marilyn Monroe
