Story behind the song
I have really no idea why this (music and lyrics) popped into my head driving around in a jeep through the Corbett National Park in the foothills of the Himalayas looking for tigers… but there you go The instrumental version is used as a backing track for a youtube video of Burmese Cottage Industries: http://youtu.be/uWzoL17EyKI
Lyrics
A D Sweet Marie she’s a killer A D Seargent major wants to drill her D C D She’ll take orders for your final fling A G A You’ll be standing to attention when she does her thing Sweet Marie she’s a floozie Ecstasy if you’re not too choosey She likes the way the brassman plays with his horn You can’t blame her it’s the way that she was born Sweet Marie she’s no willow Ecstasy by the kilo You’d love to watch her fill her face It’s just a natural pleasure of all the human race Sweet Marie’s getting older All that wear and tear is starting to show now But if she comes at you, you’ll have no defence Just put it down to all that experience
