Lyrics for Mary Lou
Oh, watch out, here comes Mary Lou She thought that she lived in a shoe Everybody told her, "Baby, it's alright Oh, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright now" Oh, Mary, watch out, Mary Lou Oh, Mary, Mary, Mary Lou Her brother's in the library Reading about history Said he couldn't read or write too well But he's alright, he's alright, he's alright now Oh, Mary, Mary, Mary Lou Oh, Mary, Mary, Mary Lou Her father's in the government Ended up his feet in cement Couldn't tell the difference between right or wrong But he's alright, he's alright, he's alright for a song Oh, Mary, watch out now, watch out now, watch out now, Mary Lou Ahh! Oh, Mary, Mary, Mary Lou
