    CHORUS

    All day, all night, Marianne.........Marianne,

    Down by the seaside sifting sand.......sifting sand.

    Even little children love Marianne......Marianne,

    Down by the seaside sifting sand......sifting sand.

    When she walks along the shore,

    People pause to greet,     "She’s sweet!"

    While birds fly around her,

    Little fish come to her feet.     eeek!

    Donkeys, geckos, mongoose follow

    But I’m the luckiest mortal man

    Who gets to walk along the sand

    With the children and Marianne.

    Wait for me now!

    (CHORUS)

    Marianne, Oh, Marianne,

    Oh won't you marry me?     Teee, hee!

    We can have a bamboo hut,

    Brown sugar in the tea.     Whee!

    Leave your ol’e old Nanna home,

    She‘s big as you ever saw. ..Marianne says:

    "When we marry she will be

    Your big ol’e mother-inlaw."     Whaw!

    (CHORUS)

    When we marry, we will have

    A time you never saw.     Ah, Ha!

    I will be so happy,

    I will kiss my mother-in-law.     Plagh!

    Children by the dozen,

    Going in and out the hut,

    One for every palm tree, and every cok-y-nut,

    (CHORUS)
