Marianne

Oh, marianne

Please don't marry that insurance man



I just saw your picture in the paper

Surrounded by extensive wedding plans

Tell me this is just one of your capers

Say you haven't met with their demands



Chorus:

Oh, marianne

Love talks cheap and faster than i can

Oh, marianne

Please don't marry that insurance man



I can't see you packing up his lunches

I can't see you diapering his son

You're the girl who always played her hunches

So how'd you figure out that this was one



Chorus



I'm not saying i grew up in love with you

I'm sayin', "why grow up at all?"



So tell that hoosier boy to put on clean socks

And the finest double-knits that he can wear

'cause when that invitation hits my mailbox

I'll see you at his funeral, my dear



Chorus
