Partly Marion Lyrics by Martin Mull

Martin Mull

0

She was once a beautiful girl
She had beautiful curves, a fine body
She lived her life following all of the rules
And she was saving it up for somebody
What a foolish naïve thing
To be holding out for a wedding ring
And it's so sad
The pain still lingers
Marion, you lost two of your fingers
And Marion, you're only partly Marion
You're hardly the marrying kind
Marion, you're only party Marion
You left your ring finger behind
She was only seventeen
When she cut ‘em off in the washing machine
She just a-reached for the ringer
And zap went the fingers
It was no consolation they come off so clean
Hers to have and it's hard to hold
She never got a taste of her band of gold
And it's so sad, the pain still lingers
Marion, you lost two of your fingers
And Marion, you're only partly Marion
You're hardly the marrying kind
Marion, you're only party Marion
You left your ring finger behind
(band solos)
Happy birthday, Marion
You're 29, you still ain't married
And you're riding around on a Greyhound bus
You got to ask someone to get your baggage carried
You're sittin' in the back, you're just gettin' old
Your hair's gone gray, and your body's ice cold
And your life's half gone, ain't no regaining
Better wave bye bye with the three remaining
Now, Marion, you're only partly Marion
You're hardly the marrying kind
Marion, you're only party Marion
You left your ring finger behind
