(Carter / McEwan)
Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn
Marilyn Monroe
To Hollywood, to Hollywood, to Hollywood I'll go
And you will know me by the name of Marilyn Monroe
All the soldiers and the sailors whose names I'll never know
Will wish that they could have a girl like Marilyn Monroe
Now laughter is a thing I love, Said Marilyn Monroe
I used to be an orphan girl, it wasn't long ago
I've seen enough of sorrow, heard enough of woe
I'd rather have you laugh than cry for Marilyn Monroe
I'll glitter like a candle for all the world to see
Good luck to all who walk alone and fear the dark like me
And whether I am happy or whether I am not
I'll fight the blues, said Marilyn, With everything I've got
I'm a fan of Abraham Lincoln, said Marilyn Monroe
Arthur Miller is more like him than any man I know
Don't marry Arthur Miller, they say that he's a Red
They say he's un-American - I'll marry him, she said
I hear the hounds behind my back wherever I may go
Good luck to every hunted thing, said Marilyn Monroe
And when the hunt is over I want you all to know
I led those hounds a merry chase, said Marilyn Monroe
From Hollywood, from Hollywood, from Hollywood I'll go
They used to know me by the name of Marilyn Monroe
All the soldiers and the sailors whose names I'll never know
How long will they remember me, said Marilyn Monroe
There'll never be another one like Marilyn Monroe
(as sung by Hamish Imlach)
