Oh, Marianne
Please, don't marry that insurance man

I just saw your picture in the paper
Surrounded by extensive wedding plans
Tell me this is just one of your capers
Say you haven't met with their demands

[Chorus:]
Oh, Marianne
Love talks cheap and faster than I can

Please, don't marry that insurance man

I can't see you packing up his lunches
I can't see you diapering his son
You're the girl who always played her hunches
So how'd you figure out that this was one

[Chorus]

I'm not saying I grew up in love with you
