Mary Mac

Now there's a little girl and her name is Mary Mac
Make no mistake, she's the girl I'm going to 'tack
And a lot of other fellows like to get upon her track
But I'm thinking that they'll have to get up early.

Chorus:
For Mary Mac's father's making Mary Mac marry me
My father's making me marry Mary Mac
I'm going to marry Mary, for my Mary to take care of me
We'll all be feeling merry when I marry Mary Mac.

Now this little lass, she has a lot of class
Has a lot of brass and her father thinks I'm a gas
And I'd be a silly ass for to let the matter pass
Her father thinks she suits me very fairly.

(Repeat chorus)

Now Mary and her mother go an awful lot together
In fact I hardly ever see the one without the other
And the people wonder whether it is Mary or her mother
And the both of them together that I'm courting.

(Repeat chorus)

Now the wedding's on Wednesday and everything's arranged
Soon her name will change to mine, unless her mind is changed
And with making the arrangements I'm just about deranged
Marriage is an awful undertaking.

And it's sure to be a grand affair, grander than a fair
There's going to be a coach-and-four for every pair that's there
We'll dine upon the finest fare I'm sure to get my share
If I don't then I'll be very much mistaken.

(Repeat chorus)
