(Love her in the day time love her in the
night time anytime we love's the right time.)
All night, all day, Marianne, down by the seaside
sifting sand.
Even little children love Marianne (everybody
love her!)
Down by the seaside sifting sand.
#1.
Marianne, oh, Marianne, oh, won't you marry me?
We can have a bamboo hut and brandy in the tea.
Leave your fat old mama home, she never will say
yes.
If mama don't know now, she can guess, oh, my, yes.
All day, all night, Marianne, down by the seaside
sifting sand.
Even little children love Marianne (everybody
love her!)
Down by the seaside sifting sand.
#2.
When she walks along the shore, people pause to
greet.
White birds fly around her, little fish come to her
feet (how delightful!)
In her heart is love, but I'm the only mortal man,
who's allowed to kiss my Marianne don't rush me.
All day, all night, Marianne, down by the seaside
sifting sand.
Even little children love Marianne (everybody
love her!)
Down by the seaside sifting sand.
#3.
When we marry, we will have a time you never saw.
I will be so happy I will kiss my mother-in-law.
(Ha-ha-ha-ha!)
Children by the dozen in and out the bamboo hut.
One for every palm tree and coconut (hurry up, now!)
All day, all night, Marianne, down by the seaside
sifting sand.
Even little children love Marianne (everybody
love her!)
Down by the seaside sifting sand.
All day, all night, Marianne, Marianne (Fade.)
