Willy Russell - Marilyn Monroe lyrics

[MRS JOHNSTONE] Once, I had a husband You know the sort of chap I met him at a dance And how he came on with the chat [MR JOHNSTONE] You dancin'? I think you're a bleedin' cracker! [MRS JOHNSTONE] He said my eyes were deep blue pools My skin as soft as snow He told me I was s**ier than Marilyn Monroe And we went dancing We went dancing Then, of course, I found that I was six weeks overdue. [MR JOHNSTONE] You what?! [MRS JOHNSTONE] We got married at the registry, And then we had a do We all had curly salmon sandwiches And how the ale did flow They said the bride was lovelier than Marilyn Monroe [ALL] And we went dancing We went dancing [MRS JOHNSTONE] Then the baby came along We called him Darren Wayne Then three months on I found that I was in the club again [MR JOHNSTONE] I've married a bleedin' rabbit! [MRS JOHNSTONE] And though I still fancied dancing, My husband wouldn't go With a wife he said Was twice the size of Marilyn Monroe No more dancing. No more dancing. By the time that I was twenty-five, I looked like forty-two. With seven hungry mouths to feed, And one more nearly due. My husband, he walked out on me A month or two ago For a girl who they say looks a bit like Marilyn Monroe And they go dancing They go dancing. Yes, they go dancing They go dancing.
