Lyrics Marilyn Monroe (first Reprise)

MRS. JOHNSTONE
The house we got was lovely,
The neighbours are a treat,
They sometimes fight on a Saturday night,
But never in the week.

NEIGHBOURS
What time do you call this, then?
Time I got shot of you, rat bag! "Ow!"

MRS. JOHNSTONE
Since I pay me bills on time,
The milkman insists I call him Joe.

MILKMAN
Call me Joe.

MRS. JOHNSTONE
He brings me bread and eggs,
Says I've got legs
Like Marilyn Monroe.
Sometimes he takes me dancing
Even takes me dancing

I know our Sammy burnt the school down.
But it's very easily done.
If the teacher lets the silly gets
Play with magnesium.
Thank God he only got probation.
The judge was old and slow
Thought it was kind of him,
Said I reminded him of Marilyn Monroe.

JUDGE
And could I take you dancing?
I'd love to take you dancing young lady.

MRS. JOHNSTONE
Our Mickey's just turned fourteen. Y' know he's at that age When you mention girls, or courting, He flies into a rage.

MICKEY
Shut up talking about me, Mother.

MRS. JOHNSTONE
He's got a thing for taking blackheads out,
And he think I don't know,
That he dreams all night of girls who look like Marilyn Monroe.
He's even started dancing, secret dancing
And as for the rest, they've flown the nest
Got married or moved away
Our Donna Marie's already got three.

DONNA MARIE
Hello, mum.

MRS. JOHNSTONE
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 he'll be okay,
Unlike poor Marilyn Monroe
