that I've just got to say,

do!

- Chorus:
- Mary Lou, Mary Lou,
- Cross my heart I love you!
- Ev'ry bell in the steeple
is ready to ring,
- And all the people are planning
pretty presents,
- All for you, Mary

- Won't you give your promise
true?
- Why for miles a round they're
waiting to start their celebrating,
- when you say "I do"
Mary Lou!
