Marian

Madam librarian

What can I do my dear

To catch your ear

I love you madly

Madly madam librarian marian

Heaven help us if the library caught on fire

And the volunteer hose brigademen

Had to whisper the news

To Marian

Madam librarian

What can I do

My dear

To make it clear

I need you badly

Badly

Madam librarian marian

If I stumbled and I busted my what you may call it

I could lie on your floor on notis

Till my body had turned to carrion

Madam librarian

Now in the moonlight

A man could sing it

In the moonlight

And a fellow would know that his darling

Had heard every word of his song

With the moonlight helping along

But when I try in here to tell you dear

I love you madly madly

Madam librarian marian

It's a long lost 'cause I can never win

For the civilized world accepts as unforgivable sin

Any talking out loud with any librarian

Such as Marian

Madam librarian
