Story Behind The Song
"Madame Marla" is a comical look at a beautiful and greedy woman that goes from one town to another relieving wealthy men of their riches. No, this one is not about me as I've never been rich enough to warrant attention from someone like her, but I've seen a number of them in action. Enjoy!

Lyrics
VERSE 1:
MARLA'S ON A JOURNEY WITH A DEVIOUS PLAN
HER OBJECT OF DESIRE IS A WEALTHY YOUNG MAN
WHEN SHE FINDS HER MARK, HE'LL HAVE A PREMIUM TO PAY
THE COST IS VERY STEEP IF YOU FROLIC IN HER WAY
BRIDGE 1:
MARLA IS A NAUGHTY LADY
SHE WILL LEAVE YOU BROKE AND CRAZY
CHORUS 1:
MADAME MARLA'S COME TO TOWN
SHE WILL SPIN YOUR HEAD AROUND
IF YOU BUY THE SONG SHE SELLS
YOU'LL GET CAUGHT UP IN HER SPELL
MARLA'S GOT HER SIGHTS ON YOU
GUARD YOUR JEWELS & HURRY TOO
IF HER GAME YOU DARE TO CHOOSE
YOU'LL SCORE FIRST BUT THEN YOU LOSE
VERSE 2:
MARLA'S GOT LOOKS THAT CAN DRIVE MEN INSANE
SHE'S GOT THE GOODS THAT MAKE MOST WOMEN LOOK TAME
SHE WILL OFFER YOU LOVE & USE HER BODY TO PLEASE
MARLA WILL ENCHANT YOU AS SHE TAKES YOU SOUL & LEAVES
BRIDGE 2:
MARLA IS A NAUGHTY LADY
SHE WILL LEAVE YOU BROKE AND CRAZY
CHORUS 2:
MADAME MARLA'S COME TO TOWN
SHE WILL SPIN YOUR HEAD AROUND
IF YOU BUY THE SONG SHE SELLS
YOU'LL GET CAUGHT UP IN HER SPELL
MARLA'S GOT HER SIGHTS ON YOU
GUARD YOUR JEWELS & HURRY TOO
IF HER GAME YOU DARE TO CHOOSE
YOU'LL SCORE FIRST BUT THEN YOU LOSE
FINALE:
SHE WON'T BE AROUND FOR LONG
WAKE UP FORE YOUR MONEY'S GONE
