Mary

It was just
a seedy pub
Your average
dimlit nightclub
but in a corner
they had a raised stage
and Mary standin on it.

They said she looked
like your average plain jane
she had creases
at the corners of her smile
but i thought
she was easy on the eyes
Mary Mary Mary
she looked so fine.

It was just
a seedy pub
all flat beer
and used up cigarette stubs
but in a corner
they had raised stage
and Mary singin on it.

Last year they said
she'd had a daughter
and since then
no man had ever got her
but oh she was so
easy on the eyes
Mary Mary Mary
she was so fine.

So in that
dimlit nightclub
just your seedy
average pub.
I sat at the edge
of that raised stage
pretendin she's gonna be mine
Mary Mary Mary
she was so fine

It was just
a seedy pub
your average
dimlit nightclub
but in a corner
they had a raised stage
with Mary standin on it.
