MARIAN, THE LIBRARIAN (c)1957 M. Willson Marian, madam librarian What can I do, my dear, to catch your ear? I love you madly, madly, madam librarian, Marian Heaven help us if the library caught on fire And the volunteer hose brigade men Had to whisper the news to Marian, madam librarian What can I do, my dear, to make it clear? I need you badly, badly, madam librarian, Marian If I stumbled and I busted my whatchamacallit I could lie on your floor unnoticed 'til my body had turned to carrion Madam librarain Now in the moonlight a man could sing it In the moonlight And a fella would know that his darlin' Had heard every word of his song With the moonlight helping along But when I try in here to tell you dear I love you madly, madly, madam librarian, Marian It's a long lost cause, I can never win For the civilized world accepts as unforgivable sin Any talking out loud with any librarian Such as Marian, madam librarian
