Lyrics
Marilyn
by Kenny Beck (ASCAP) 2005/2007
She was a beauty queen
all in the magazine
up on the picture screen
here's her story
She led the perfect life
could've been the perfect wife
but now she's down
and she's bound for her glory
Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn
where ya been?
Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn
come back again, again, again and again
When she was 17
a man said "Hey there Jean"
gonna make you a big star
we can make you go
Oh baby don't you know
The prettiest girl they'd seen
up on that movie screen
People, will scream and shout
your name, but you will go insane
Crazy!
Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn
Crazy
(Chorus)
(Instrumental bridge)
(Chorus)
