[Verse 1]
Mary say she wanna be happy
And she doesn't want to be let down
Make her smile and make her happy
And that's all you have to do to keep her 'round
[Pre-Chorus]
I would take you, Mary
Anywhere you want to go
On my private Lear jet
We could fly to Mexico
Lay 'round in the grass
Make love on the sand
You could be my lady
I could be your man
[Chorus]
Mary get down
Mary-Go-Round, yeah
Mary-Go-Round and round and round and round
Mary-Go-Round, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Mary say she doesn't wanna be lonely
I could never do that in a million years
I don't tease her, I just please her
And in that way I don't have to see her tears
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey Mary, baby, let's go to Paris, France
And by the Champs Elysees we could make romance
Make love and dine and wine
We'd have a good time
Your wish is my command
Girl, I'm your biggest fan
[Chorus]
Mary get down
Mary-Go-Round, yeah
Mary-Go-Round and round and round and round
Mary-Go-Round, yeah
[Bridge]
Mary wanna dance
And Mary wanna sing
Mary wanna love me and everything
Mary wanna dance and Mary wanna sing
Mary wanna make love and everything
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
