Leave your old fat mamma home,

Then she can guess.

 6   5   4
(My! My! Yes!)

CHORUS

When she walks along the shore,
People pause to greet.
White birds fly around her,
Little fish come to her feet.
In her heart is love, but Im the only mortal man
Whos allowed to kiss my sweet Mary Ann.
(Dont rush me!)

CHORUS

When we marry we will have a time you never saw!
I will be so happy I will kiss me mother-in-law!
(Phooey!)
Children by the dozen, in and out the bamboo hut!
One for every palm tree and co-key-nut!
(Hurry up, now!)
