Marilyn Monroe (2)

MRS JOHNSTONE

THE HOUSE WE GOT WAS LOVELY,

THE NEIGHBOURS ARE A TREAT,

THEY SOMETIMES FIGHT ON SATURDAY NIGHT,

BUT NEVER IN THE WEEK

NEIGHBOURS

WHAT TIME DO YOU CALL THIS THEN.

TIME I GOT SHOT OF YOU, RAT BAG! "OW!"

MRS JOHNSTONE

SINCE I PAY ME BILLS ON TIME,

THE MILKMAN INSISTS I CALL HIM JOE.

MILKMAN

CALL ME JOE

MRS JOHNSTONE

HE BRINGS ME BREAD AND EGGS,

SAYS I'VE GOT LEGS

LIKE MARILYN MONROE

SOMETIMES HE TAKES ME DANCING

EVEN TAKES ME DANCING

I KNOW OUR SAMMY BURNT THE SCHOOL DOWN

BUT IT'S VERY EASILY DONE.

IF THE TEACHER LETS THE SILLY GETS

PLAY WITH MAGNESIUM.

THANK GOD HE ONLY GOT PROBATION

THE JUDGE WAS OLD AND SLOW

THOUGH IT WAS KIND OF HIM,

SAID I REMINDED HIM OF MARILYN MONROE

JUDGE

AND COULD I TAKE YOU DANCING?

I'D LOVE TO TAKE YOU DANCING YOUNG LADY

MRS JOHNSTONE

OUR MICKEY'S JUST TURNED FOURTEEN

Y' KNOW HE'S AT THAT AGE

WHEN YOU MENTION GIRLS, OR COURTING,

HE FLIES INTO A RAGE

MICKEY

SHUT UP TALKING ABOUT ME, MOTHER.

MRS JOHNSTONE

HE'S GOT A THING FOR TAKING BLACKHEADS OUT,

AND HE THINKS THAT I DON'T KNOW,

THAT HE DREAMS ALL NIGHT OF GIRLS WHO LOOK LIKE MARILYN MONROE

HE'S EVEN STARTED DANCING, SECRET DANCING

AND AS FOR THE REST, THEY'VE FLOWN THE NEST

GOT MARRIED OR MOVED AWAY

OUR DONNA MARIE'S ALREADY GOT THREE

DONNA MARIE

HELLO MAM.

MRS JOHNSTONE

SHE' A BIT LIKE ME.

AND THAT OTHER CHILD OF MINE,

I HAVEN'T SEEN FOR YEARS, ALTHOUGH

EACH DAY I PRAY HE'LL BE OK,

UNLIKE POOR MARILYN MONROE
