Mary Make Believe (This Year Of Grace) |
| If you’re romantic temperamentally |
| You must restrain it all you can |
| If you see life too sentimentally |
| You’ll never find your man |
| You’ll build such terribly pedantic dreams |
| But your romantic scheme may go awry |
| Your thoughts are such |
| You claim too much |
| And love will pass you by |
| Mary make believe |
| Dreamed the whole day through |
| Foolish fancies, love romances |
| How could they come true |
| Mary make believe |
| Sighed a little up her sleeve |
| Nobody claimed her |
| They only named her |
| Mary make believe |
| She’s just a girl who’s always blowing mental bubbles |
| Till she’s quite our of breath, quite out of breath |
| She seems to have the knack of magnifying troubles |
| Till they crush her to death, crush her to death |
| She’s just a duffer of the ineffective kind |
| She’s bound to suffer from her introspective mind |
| Her indecisions quite prevent her visions coming true |
| Imagination is a form of flagellation |
| If a sensitive child lets it run wild |
| It dims the firmament |
| Till all the world is permanently blue |
| She’s simply bound to make a bloomer |
| Until she’s found her sense of humour |
| If love should touch her ever |
| She’ll never, never see it through |
| Nobody claimed her |
| They only named her— |
| Mary make believe |
