1
It was a fine day in the fifth grade
2
When mary may let bobby walk her home from school
3
He had her books in hand
4
And he was listening to every word she said
5
Like it was the gospel of the prophecies
6
And he loved the way her hair fell across her dress
7
Went home singing who wrote the book of love
8
And try a little tenderness
9
The next day on the playground
10
Bobby sat mary down on the swingset behind the sandbox
11
And she said, "Bobby I just wanna play,
12
So what is it you have to say?"
13
He said, "Mary, marry me.
14
We could live out by the sea
15
Like they do on the movie screen
16
Oh, marry me, Mary May
17
Before you go back to play"
18
It was graduation day
19
They were waiting on a plane to take mary away
20
Said, "there's nothing left for me here but you
21
Bobby, I hope you can find yourself through
22
There's so much that I wish to know
23
And I have to do this on my own
24
And I hope you can understand
25
Bobby, write me when you can"
26
He said, "take my high school ring
27
So time to time now you can think of me
28
And there's just one more thing before you leave"
29
He said, "Mary, marry me
30
We could live out by the sea
31
Oh, like they do on the movie screens
32
Oh, marry me, Mary May,
33
Before you are fly away"
34
There's so much time has past since that day
35
And Mary stopped writing years ago
36
And Bobby never took his music on the road
37
Guess he never really gave up hope
38
Though Mary she's got everything she thought she wanted
39
Got a Phd, she is an independent business woman
40
Climbin' up the corporate ladder
41
Though it really don't seem to matter
42
She is lonely beyond belief
43
So one day she went home
44
Looking for the only love she'd ever known
45
She found him once again
46
Playing circuit at the Holiday Inn
47
Still singing the song about the one he lost long ago
48
Just goes to show you never know
49
She took his hand in hers
50
Not everything she had planned and rehearsed
51
She said, "Bobby, marry me
52
We could live in a apartment building with the window hue
53
We could take in movies on the weekend
54
Or plan our vacation
55
Take a honeymoon by the sea
56
Oh Bobby, won't you just marry me?
57
Won't you just marry me?
58
Oh please, marry me"
59
It was a fine day in the fifth grade
60
Mary may let Bobby walk her home from school...
