Marilyn
Dan Bern
tune down 1/2 step
DMarilyn AMonroe didn't Gmarry Henry DMiller
Marilyn Monroe didn't marry Henry Miller
Marilyn Monroe didn't marry Henry Miller
Marilyn Monroe didn't marry Henry Miller
ABut if she did AHe'd a taken Gher to DParis
And if she did She'd have smoked a lot of opium
And if she did She'd have dyed her hair blue
And if she did She might be alive
AOh-ohh GHenry DMiller AOh-ohh GMarilyn DMonroe
Oh-ohh Henry Miller Oh-ohh Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe didn't marry Henry Miller
She lived outside the Tropic of Capricorn
Marilyn Monroe didn't marry Henry Miller
I don't even know if she knew Henry Miller
But if she did He'd a taken her to Paris
And if she did They'd have fucked every day
And if she did She'd have felt like a woman
Not like a photogragh In a magazine
Oh-ohh Henry Miller Oh-ohh Marilyn Monroe
EThis is not a Bknock against AArthur EMiller
"Death of a Salesman" is my favorite play
But Marilyn Monroe Should have married Henry Miller
And if she did She might be alive
ACause if she did AHe'd have Gtaken her to DParis
Tied her to the bed And eaten dinner off of her
And okay maybe she'd have died the same, anyway
But if she did she'd have had more fun
Oh-ohh Henry Miller Oh-ohh Marilyn Monroe
Oh-ohh Henry Miller Oh-ohh Marilyn Monroe
