Marilyn Monroe, Pt. 2 - Barbara Dickson

Once I had a husband

You know the sort of chap

I met him at a dance

And he came on with the chat

He said my eyes were deep blue pools

My skin as soft as snow

He told me I was sexier than Marilyn Monroe

And we went dancing

We went dancing

Then, of course, I found

That I was six weeks overdue

We got married at the registry

An' then we had a do We all had curly salmon sandwiches

An' how the ale did flow

They said the bride was lovelier than Marilyn Monroe

And we went dancing

Yes, we went dancing

Then the baby came along

We called him Darren Wayne

Then three months on I found that I was in the club again

An' though I still fancied dancing

My husband wouldn’t go With a wife he said was twice the size of Marilyn Monroe

No more dancing

No more dancing

By the time I was twenty-five

I looked like forty-two

With seven hungry mouths to feed

And one more nearly due

My husband, he walked out on me

A month or two ago

For a girl they say who looks a bit like Marilyn Monroe

And they go dancing

They go dancing

Yes, they go dancing

They go dancing
