Marilyn Monroe (from Blood Brothers) piano leadsheet with chords

Once I had a husband.

You know the sort of chap.

I met him at a dance and how he came on with the chat.

He said my eyes were deep blue pools,

my skin as soft as snow.

He told me I was sexier than Marilyn Monroe.

And we went dancing,

we went dancing.

Then, of course, I found that I was six weeks overdue.

We got married at the registry an' then we had a 'do'.

We all had curly salmon sandwiches,

an' how the ale did flow.

The bride, they said, was lovelier than Marilyn Monroe.

(And we went dancing,

yes, we went dancing.)

Then the baby came along.

We called him Darren Wayne.

Then three months on I found that I was in the club again.

An' though I still fancied dancin',

my husband wouldn't go with a wife he said was twice the size of Marilyn Monroe.

No more dancing,

no more dancing.

By the time that I was twentyfive I looked like fortytwo.

With seven hungry mouths to feed and one more nearly due.

Me husband, he walked out on me a month or two ago;

for a girl they say who looks a bit like Marilyn Monroe.

And they go dancing,

they go dancing.

Yes, they go dancing,

they go dancing.
