Marianne 

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

Marianne oh Marianne, oh won't you marry me
We can have a bamboo hut, with brandy in the tea
Leave your fat old mama home, she never will say yes
If your mama don't know now, she can guess (it's in the mail now!)

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

When she walks along the shore, people pause to greet
White birds fly around her, little fish come to her feet
In her heart is love but I'm the, only mortal man
Who's allowed to kiss my, Marianne (everybody!)

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

And when we marry, we will have, a time you never saw
I will be so happy, I will kiss my mother-in-law (phooey!)
Children by the dozen, in and out the bamboo hut
One for every palm tree, and coconut (don't rush me!)
​
All day, all night, Marianne 
Down by the seaside siftin' sand 
Even little children love Marianne 
Down by the seaside siftin' sand
