Lyrics Marilyn Monroe

MRS. JOHNSTONE
Once I had a husband
You know the sort of chap,
I met him at a dance
And how he came on with the chat

TEDDY BOY
Ya dancin'. I think you're a bleedin' cracker.

MRS. JOHNSTONE
He said my eyes were deep blue pools
My skin as soft as snow.

TEDDY BOY
Lovely.

MRS. JOHNSTONE
He told me I was sexier than Marilyn Monroe
And we went dancing.
We went dancing.

Then, of course, I found
That I was six weeks overdue.

TEDDY BOY
Y' what !??

MRS. JOHNSTONE
We got married at the registry.
An' then we had a "do".

GUESTS
Bring on the Bevvies.

MRS. JOHNSTONE
We all had curly salmon sandwiches
An' how the ale did flow.

GUESTS
Cheers.

MRS. JOHNSTONE
They said the bride was lovelier than Marilyn Monroe.

GUESTS
And we went dancing,
Yes, we went dancing.

MRS. JOHNSTONE
Then the baby came along.
We called him


TEDDY BOY
Darren Wayne.

MRS. JOHNSTONE
Then three months on I found that I was in the club again.

TEDDY BOY
I married a bleedin' rabbit.

MRS. JOHNSTONE
An' though I still fancied dancing.
My husband wouldn't go.

TEDDY BOY
Get lost will ya.

MRS. JOHNSTONE
With a wife he said was twice the size of Marilyn Monroe.

No more dancing
No more dancing.

By the time I was twenty-five
I looked like forty-two.
With seven hungry mouths to feed
And one more nearly due

Me husband, he walked out on me
A month or two ago.

TEDDY BOY
Ta-ta.

MRS. JOHNSTONE
For a girl they say who looks a bit like Marilyn Monroe.
And they go dancing.
They go dancing.

Yes, they go dancing,
They go dancing.
