Marianne (All Day, All Night Marianne)

                                  Marianne, oh, Marianne, oh, won't you marry me?

We can have a bamboo hut and brandy in the tea

Leave your fat old mamma home, she never will say yes

If mama don't know now, she can guess  

My, my, yes

 

All day, all night, Marianne

Down by the sea side 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 

Don't rush me

 

All day, all night, Marianne

Down by the sea side siftin' sand

Even little children love Marianne

Down by the seaside siftin' sand

 

When we marry we will have a time you never saw

I will be so happy I will kiss my mother inlaw

Children by the dozen in and out the bamboo hut 

One for every palm tree and coconut  

Hurry up now

 

All day, all night, Marianne

Down by the sea side siftin' sand

Even little children love Marianne

Down by the seaside siftin' sand
