Down at Mary's Old
-Time Bar
Down people all are so bizarre
They sit around on canvas chairs
And wish that they were teddy bears
So they could all be cuddled up
Like people are in movie shows
Some of them may get their wish
I couldn't say, I wouldn't know
I only know what fools they are
Down at Mary's Old -Time Bar
Down at Mary's Old Time Bar,
it isn't really who you are,
but what you want to be that counts.
If you've got cash in Swiss accounts,
you might be taken for a ride,
or even taken for a swim,
or for a walk along the pier.
I couldn't say, I wouldn't know,
I only know what fools they are,
down at Mary's Old Time Bar.
There was a man who
danced the fandango
and won him a loving cup
There was a girl who swal
lowed a goldfish
She went to bed without any supper
Down at Mary's old -time bar
I one time saw a movie star
Who peaked out from the silver screen
and won my heart in every scene
Who beat the good guy to the draw,
dove from over fifty feet
Fell into a box of cheese,
I couldn't say, I wouldn't know
I only know what fools they are,
down at Mary's old -time bar
knew a girl who
hated the floor show
And asked for her money back
Ha -ta -ta -ta -ta
I know a boy who married a dump truck
He had a rough time out
on the dance floor
Down at Mary's Old Time Bar
They drink their cider from a jar
And sometimes from a combat boot
Or even from a bumper shoe
And some of them wear leather vests
Some of them wear leather coats
Some of them wear leather pants
I couldn't say, I wouldn't know
I only know what fools they are
Down at Mary's old -time bar
