Such a dainty little miss

Is Marie,

Whom I love to pet and kiss ...

Sweet Marie!

Auburn hair in sunny wave,

Freckled face, now sad, now grave ...

Would you teach me to behave ...

Dear Marie?

You’ve culled learning from deep booksFair Marie,A Phi Beta ... and such looks!Oh Marie!That you set my heart a-flutter,Not the wise words that you utter ...It’s your charm that makes me stutter ...My Marie!

You’ve culled learning from deep books

Fair Marie,

A Phi Beta ... and such looks!

Oh Marie!

That you set my heart a-flutter,

Not the wise words that you utter ...

It’s your charm that makes me stutter ...

My Marie!

But though lyrics I indite you,Fair Marie,Ardent love letters I write you,Still Marie,You prefer to let me pine, dear,Lonely hours have been mine, dear.Oh your art is superfine, dear,Dear Marie!

But though lyrics I indite you,

Fair Marie,

Ardent love letters I write you,

Still Marie,

You prefer to let me pine, dear,

Lonely hours have been mine, dear.

Oh your art is superfine, dear,

Dear Marie!

But I never give up hope,Of Marie,Liberally I hand soft soapTo Marie ...For I know when I grow older,And my beaux affairs grow bolder ...By her tactics, I’ll be colderThan Marie!

But I never give up hope,

Of Marie,

Liberally I hand soft soap

To Marie ...

For I know when I grow older,

And my beaux affairs grow bolder ...

By her tactics, I’ll be colder

Than Marie!
