So glad I met me a girl named Marilyn Rovell So glad that I can say so far it's workin' out so well She gets up at night, while I'm sleepin' She's shoppin' with Bobbi or Dee (it's short for Diane) If only she knew how happy it makes me To see her carry my baby Mary, oh Mary baby Oh Mary, my Mary baby Oh Mary, my Mary baby Oh Mary, my Mary And sometimes friends'll ask us, "what the heck is your secret?" Part luck, part love, and we don't spend our money, we keep it And when I come home I say honey, please fix me somethin' good to eat She's right there cookin' it If only she knew how happy it makes me To see her carry my baby Mary, oh Mary baby Oh Mary, my Mary baby Oh Mary, oh Mary baby Oh Mary, my Mary baby Oh Come on Mary, sing with me Oh ho Look at that little child sing, a-ooo OK baby, come on
