Lyrics
Mario the carpenter says things are getting better,
Overtime means lots of work, it's something of a pleasure,
And over in the office, is this girl Maria,
Secretary to the shop, it's making him so crazy.
Oh! Maria, I kiss her when I see her,
She looks fine, she's on my mind,
I really wish that she were mine.
Oh! Maria, there is my Maria,
She looks fine, she is devine,
I really wish that she were mine.
Maria says she likes this man, from his head to toe,
She takes him out to see a band, but he won't dance slow,
They go to hear the big band blow, and watch the money flow,
Now do you want to make romance, or do you want to dance?
Do you want to make romance, or do you want to dance?
Mario says your my girl, 'til the end of time,
I'd take you to the minister, but I haven't got a dime,
Maria says she understands, as she sips a glass of wine,
Now do you want to make romance, or do you want to dance?
Do you want to make romance, or do you want to dance?
