Verse:

You can talk about your love affairs,

Here's one I must tell to you;

All night long they sit upon the stairs,

He holds her close and starts to coo:

 

Chorus:

"My little Margie, I'm always thinking of you,

Margie, I'll tell the world I love you;

Don't forget your promise to me,

I have bought a home and ring and ev'ry thing, For!

Margie You've been my inspiration,

Days are never blue;

After all is said and done, There is really only one, Oh!

Margie, Margie, it's you."
