Lyrics for Song: Mary Ann
Lyrics for Album: 11:11 [2001]
Miss Mary Ann
kept her man
in porcupine gloves, in porcupine gloves
and on that day
as scheduled
they made porcupine love, porcupine love
so stiff and stuck and prickly
he came in and then back out quickly
but lord not any quicker than according to plan
like a soldier, one foot in front of the other
Miss Mary Ann
had a man
named Stan, Stan Buttler
he had no antlers
he had no center
he had no enter and he had no exit
his hair was short and prickly
he came in and then back out quickly
but lord not any quicker than according to plan
like a soldier, one foot in front of the other
and how he loved her apple pies,
how he loved her meat loaf,
how he loved her chicken breasts,
how he loved her pudding,
served promptly at eight o'clock,
served promptly at seven
served promptly at ten o'clock,
and promptly at eleven heaven
Miss Mary Ann
kept her cans
in alphabetical order
Miss Marry Ann
began to have
some thoughts of murder
Miss Marry Ann
started to think
real hard about her future
Miss Marry Ann
preferred her meat
to be freshly butchered
oh she killed him rather quickly
man that woman was truly sickly
but lord not any sicker than according to plan
like a soldier, one foot in front of the other
and how he loved her apple pies,
how he loved her meat loaf,
how he loved her chicken breasts,
how he loved her pudding,
served promptly at eight o'clock,
served promptly at seven
served promptly at ten o'clock,
and promptly at eleven heaven
Miss Marry Ann
kept her man
in porcupine gloves, in porcupine gloves
and on that day
as scheduled
they made porcupine love,
porcupine lo-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-apchu!
