First Verse:
DAlone tonight in somebody's  Gbed

GOut here among Dus
Verse 2: (same chords as above and rhythm)
Now lookin' out across the city lights
She thought they'd be a good pair
Now he could make a living sellin' cars
Maybe she could work there
She's gonna pick a star in the night
And pray to make it all right
She tried so hard not to pick a kite
She always prayed to heaven lights
Chorus: (same as above but repeated)
One, two, three Marlenas

One, two, three Marlenas
It's see no, speak no, hear no evil about us
The three Marlenas
Verse 3: (same as other verses)
Man, I think I'm gonna buy myself a Rolls
Maybe a Chevrolet
One where I can pull that top down
Just let my radio play
Now I'm headin' out on that highway
I'm goin' right out of state
Now I ain't lookin' back until I'm gone
Right through heaven's gates
Chorus: (same as other 2 chorus)
One, two, three Marlenas
There's got to be someone we can trust
Out here among us
One, two, three Marlenas
Ya see no, speak no, hear no evil among us
The three Marlenas
Three Marlenas
Three Marlenas
