Margie
Louis Prima · Other Songs - Louis Prima
Here's one I must tell to you
All night long they sit upon the stairs
He holds her close and starts to coo
My little Margie
I'm always thinking of you
Margie, I'll tell the world I love you
Don't forget your promise to me
I have bought a home and ring and everything
for Margie you've been my inspiration
Days are never blue
After all is said and done
There is really only one Oh!
Margie, Margie, it's you
You can picture me most every night
I can't wait until they start
Every thing he says just seems all right
I want to learn that stuff by heart
My little Margie
I'm always thinking of you
Margie, I'll tell the world I love you
Don't forget your promise to me
I have bought a home and ring and everything
for Margie you've been my inspiration
