Testo Maryanne

(i tried my best to figure out what he's saying)

this is a tune for maryanne
died at birth in her grandfathers hands
if she were here now she would then understand
the notes we are playing,
the words we are saying
to her it would be just la-da-da-la-da-dum (goes on to sing something like that)
there isn't a crossword that i can sing
because i've been blessed with a part in the play
but even if i don't make the curtain call
i was in the cast, and i signed the wall
i'll be the witch this time and then
next time it'll be you
you must believe that
after all maryanne
i would grow old and tall in this life,
but next time you'll be richer, you'll be taller
la-da-da-la-da-dum
