MARYLIN MONROE III

The jury found him guilty
Sent him down for seven years
Though he acted like they gave him life
He couldn't stop the tears
And when we went to visit him
He didn't want to know
It seems like jail's sent him off the rails
Just like Marilyn Monroe
His mind's gone dancing
Mind's gone dancing
They showed him to a doctor
And after routine tests
A prescription note the doctor wrote
For the chronically depressed
And now the tears have stopped
He sits and counts the days to go
And treats his ills with daily pills
Like Marilyn Monroe
They stop his mind from dancing
Stop it dancing
With grace for good behaviour
He got out before his time
The family and the neighbours said
That he was looking fine
But he's feeling fifteen years older
His speech is rather slow
The neighbours said you'd think he was dead
Just like poor Marilyn Monroe
No cause for dancing
No cause for dancing
