MARIANNE
Songwriters: Terry Gilkyson, Richard Dehr and Frank Miller

All day, all night, Marianne
Down by the seaside siftin' sand

Even little children love Marianne
Down by the seaside siftin' sand.

Marianne, Oh, Marianne
Oh, won't you marry me?
We can have a bamboo hut
With brandy in the tea

Leave your fat old mama home
She never will say yes

If your mama don't know now
She can guess 

All day, all night, Marianne
Down by the seaside 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 there's love
But I'm the only mortal man
Who's allowed to kiss
My Marianne 

All day, all night, Marianne
Down by the seaside siftin' sand

Even little children love Marianne
Down by the seaside siftin' sand.

And when we marry, we will have
A time you never saw
I will be so happy
I will kiss my mother-in-law (Phooey!)

Children by the dozen
In and out the bamboo hut
One for every palm tree
And coconut 

All day, all night, Marianne
Down by the seaside siftin' sand

Even little children love Marianne
Down by the seaside siftin' sand.

Down by the seaside siftin' sand...

Marianne, performed by the Brothers Four
