Donovan

She sits at the window
Polishing horse brasses
An old man is snoring near
Wearing wire glasses
That makes her laugh
But rain makes her sigh
Rain makes her cry
And sex makes her sky

Marjorie Margerine
Longs to be a queen
Marjorie Margerine
Longs to make a scene
She's at that age
Majorie Margerine

She can't get to sleep at night
Thinking of Thomas
She will try to see him today
Make him promise
That makes her glad
She grin when she glad
She loves to be bad
Ignoring her dad.

Majorie Margerine
Longs to be a queen - also
Majorie Margerine
Longs to make a scene
She's at that age
Marjorie Margerine

She makes do with Teddy
And the pillow-fellow
If mum could see how they perform
She would turn yellow
That makes her smile
She'll be grown in a while
Strutting around in style
Drivin' all the fellas wild

Marjorie Margerine
Longs to be a queen
Marjorie Margerine
Longs to make a scene
She's at that age
Marjorie Margerine

She squints in the sunny yard
Peeling oranges
