- Marianne Lyrics

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 Nanna 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 my motherinlaw
Children by the dozen
in and out the bamboo hut
One for every palm tree
and cokynut 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
