Anna marie, the girl I adore
Anna marie, the one I live for
I'd travel the world, o'er land and sea
I'd never find one like you, anna marie
We went to the open air theatre
One summer's night in the park
Soon I had to excuse myself
And I wandered off in the dark
I got back to my seat next to her
I'd not been gone more than a minute
I said: How was the show?
She said: You ought to know
You silly great fool, you were in it
She invited me 'round for my birthday
To show me just how she could cook
She made some flaky pastry
It tasted like a wet book
But she had to admit that the cake that I bought
Really wasn't too bad
She said she'd light the twenty-eight candles
That were on the slice that she had
She said
Now we're alone, let's get cozy
I'll put something more comfortable on
And I sat there biting my fingernails
For the full half an hour, she was gone
The door burst open, she stood there
With all of mə mates from the docks
And they all sang
Happy birthday to you
And all I had on was mə socks
