[CHORUS]
All night, all day, Marianne
(Marianne, Marianne)
Down by the seaside siftin' sand
(Marianne, Marianne)
Even little children love Marianne
(Marianne, Marianne)
Down by the seaside siftin' sand
(Marianne, Marianne)

Marianne, Oh, Marianne
Oh won't you marry me?
(Marianne)
We can have a bamboo hut
And brandy in the tea
(Marianne)
Leave your fat old mama home
She never will say yes
If mama don't know now
She can guess
If mama don't know now
She can guess

[Repeat CHORUS]

When we marry, we will have
A time you never saw
(Marianne)
I will be so happy, I
Will kiss my mother-in-law
(Marianne)
Children by the dozen
In and out the bamboo hut
One for every palm tree
And coconut
One for every palm tree
And coconut

[Repeat CHORUS]

Siftin' sand
(Marianne, Marianne)
Siftin' sand
(Marianne, Marianne)
