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
