Marian The Librarian

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 Brigademen Had to whisper the news to Marian, Madam Librarian What can I say, my dear, to make it clear I need you badly, badly, Madam Librarian, Marian If I stumbled and I busted my what-you-may-call-it I could lie on your floor 'Till my body had turned to carrion, Madam Librarian Now in the moonlight, a man could sing it In the moonlight And a fellow would know that his darling 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
