Mary's A Grand Old Name

Mary's A Grand Old Name - Irene Manning

Lyrics by：Rein Heindorf

Composed by：Rein Heindorf

My mother's name was Mary

She was so good and true

Because her name was Mary

She called me Mary too

She wasn't gay or airy

But plain as she could be

I hate to meet a Mary

Who calls herself Marie

For it is Mary Mary

Plain as any name can be

But with propriety

Society will say Marie

But it was Mary Mary

Long before the

Fashions came

And there is something

There that sounds

So square

It's a grand old name

For it is Mary Mary

Plain as any

Name can be

But with propriety

Society will say Marie

But it was Mary Mary

Long before the

Fashions came

And there is something

There that sounds

So square

It's a grand old name
