Oh Marianne, Marianne, won't you marry me?
We can have a bamboo hut and brandy in our tea
Leave your fat old mama home, she never will say yeah
If mother she do not know now, she'll make a guess

All day, all night, Marianne
Down by the seaside sifting sand
Even little children love Marianne
Down by the seaside sifting sand

Oh, when she walks along the shore people pause to breathe
Wild birds fly I don't know why, little fish come to her feet
People fall in love but I'm a-lonely more than them
I would like to see you my Marianne

All day, all night, Marianne
Down by the seaside sifting sand
Even little children love Marianne
Down by the seaside sifting sand

All day, all night, Marianne
Down by the seaside sifting sand
Even little children love Marianne
Down by the seaside sifting sand

All day, all night, Marianne
Down by the seaside sifting sand
