Marianne

All night, all day, Marianne
 Down by the seaside, sifting sand
 Even little children love Marianne
 Down by the seaside, sifting sand
 Marianne, oh, Marianne
 Oh, won't you marry me
 We can have a bamboo hut
 And brandy in the tea
 Leave your fat old Mama home
 She never will say yes
 If mamma don't know now
 She can guess, my, my, yes
 All night, all day, Marianne
 Down by the seaside, sifting sand
 Even little children love Marianne
 Down by the seaside, sifting sand
 When she walks along the shore
 People pause to greet
 While birds fly around her
 Little fish come to her feet
 In her heart is love
 But I'm the only mortal man
 Who's allowed to kiss my Marianne
 Don't rush me
 All night, all day, Marianne
 Down by the seaside, sifting sand
 Even little children love Marianne
 Down by the seaside, sifting sand
 When we marry, we will have
 A time you never saw
 I will be so happy
 I will kiss me mother-in-law
 Children by the dozen
 In and out the bamboo hut
 One for every palm tree
 And coconut, hurry up now
 All night, all day, Marianne
 Down by the seaside, sifting sand
 Even little children love Marianne
 Down by the seaside, sifting sand
