For My Mary
[BEN, spoken]
Look what I brought ya, Bella
It's called a gramophone

(music plays)

[IRISH TENOR]
Tis an old country tune
That I croon 'neath the moon
For my Mary!

[BEN, spoken]
It's a song that's real popular on the bowery!

[IRISH TENOR, sung]
And the shamrocks grow green
For this fairest Colleen
For my Mary!

[BEN]
For my Bella!

[BOTH]
With your hair all of

[IRISH TENOR]
Gold
[BEN, spoken]
Brown

[BOTH]
Your dress of

[IRISH TENOR]
White

[Ben, spoken]
Brown

[BOTH]
Your eyes so bright and

[IRISH TENOR]
Blue

[BEN]
Brown! But they're bright too!

[BOTH]
Sure, the birds sing
Tra-lirra-loo

[IRISH TENOR]
Ah, my Mary
[BEN]
Ah, my Bella

[BOTH]
They sing for you
