MARILYN MONROE



To Hollywood, to Hollywood, to Hollywood, I'll go

And you will know me by the name of Marilyn Monroe

For soldiers and for sailors, I'll glitter and I'll glow

They'll wish they had a girl like Marilyn Monroe



Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn Monroe



I'll light a candle in the sky wherever I might be

For those who have to walk alone and fear the dark like me

For all those lonely women, their names I'll never know

I'll glitter in the dark for them, said Marilyn Monroe



Abe Lincoln is my hero, said Marilyn Monroe

And Arthur Miller's more like him than any man I know

Don't marry Arthur Miller, they say that he's a red

They say he's un-American. I'll marry him, she said



Good bye to Arthur Miller, alone again I'll go

God help the man who marries me, said Marilyn Monroe

Its up and down forever, my life is like the sea

And one day when I'm down, she said, will be the death of me



I hear the hounds behind my back, I know their voices well

But how this hunt will end is more than I can tell

I hear the hounds behind me, no matter where I go

Good luck to every hunted thing, said Marilyn Monroe



How long will they remember me, said Marilyn Monroe

How long will they remember me, when death has laid me low

As long as there are people on this old world below

There'll never be another one like Marilyn Monroe
