Traditional Irish waltz combined with a '50s American high school song. Oddly, it makes for a sweet, funny romp. Go figure.
Brand new old songs of the '30s, '40s, '50s and '60s.
Lyrics
Marie Delaney
Day after day as I sit in homeroom, pretending to listen to the principal’s spiel
All that I see is Marie Delaney…And sick to my stomach is all that I feel.
Oh God, those eyes! Just made to get lost in
Oh God, those lips! Just made to be kissed.
I am in love with Marie Delaney
But Marie Delaney doesn’t know I exist.
Now it’s gone April, the whole school is humming. The Sock Hop is coming, but what do I care?
All of the girls ask the fellas they’re sweet on…Nobody’s sweet on me—I won’t be there.
I’m just a dweeb in braces and glasses
Football and rock ‘n’ roll, none do I play
I’ve got a load of all A.P. classes
And many a notebook of my own animé.
And many a notebook of my own animé.
Right after homeroom I go to my locker. Another black start of another black day
There, like a vision, I scarce can believe it—Marie Delaney is coming my way!
Have I gone mad? Have I been dopin’?
Dear God—what the hell must she see?
Have I a pimple, or is my fly open?
Marie Delaney is looking at me!
(She says) I think that you think that I think too shallow, I think that you think I think not too well
But I think you’re cute, and I think you’re funny. And I think this high school can all go to hell.
Oh God! I just won the lottery!
Maybe I died, and in Heaven I be
How is this happening? What can the matter be?
Marie Delaney is talking to me!
I’ve had the nihilist fever.
I’ve had the atheist doubt.
But miracles happen, and I’m a believer
Marie Delaney is asking me out!
All in a twinkling my life has just begun, I’ve got an inkling how sweet life can be
Saturday evening, in plain sight of everyone, Marie Delaney will be dancing with me!
Oh God! The darkness is lifting
Tell Steven Hawking and Ray Bradbury
The fabric of space and time’s suddenly shifting
When Marie Delaney comes dancing with me.
When Marie Delaney comes dancing with me.
When Marie Delaney comes dancing ...dancing with me.
