Artist: Regina Spektor Album: Mary Ann Meets The Gravediggers And Other Short Stories (2006) Title: Mary Ann
Lyrics Mary AnnMiss Mary Ann kept her man in porcupine gloves, in porcupine gloves
And, on that day as scheduled, they made porcupine love, porcupine love
So stiff and stuck and prickly
He came in and then back out quickly
But Lord, not any quicker than according to plan
Like a soldier, one foot in front of the other
Miss Mary Ann had a man named Stan, Stan Butler
He had no antlers, he had no centre
He had no enter and he had no exit
His hair was short and prickly
He came in and then back out quickly
But Lord, not any quicker than according to plan
Like a soldier, one foot in front of the other
And how he loved her apple pies
How he loved her meatloaf
How he loved her chicken breasts
How he loved her pudding
Served promptly at 8 o'clock
Served promptly at 7
Served promptly at 10 o'clock
And promptly at 11, heaven
Miss Mary Ann kept her cans in alphabetical order
Miss Mary Ann began to have some thoughts of murder
Miss Mary Ann began to think real hard about her future
Miss Mary Ann preferred her meat to be freshly butchered
Oh, she killed him rather quickly
Man, that woman was truly sickly
But Lord, not any sicker than according to plan
Like a soldier, one foot in front of the other
And how he loved her apple pies
How he loved her meatloaf
How he loved her chicken breasts
How he loved her pudding
Served promptly at 8 o'clock
Served promptly at 7
Served promptly at 10 o'clock
And promptly at 11, heaven
Miss Mary Ann kept her man in porcupine gloves, in porcupine gloves
And, on that day as scheduled, they made porcupine love
Porcupine lo-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahtchoo! |
