Lyrics
Don’t You Go and Worry, Mary Verse: Mary, dear, we landed over here, the girls were on the pier, You should have heard them cheer, Mary dear, the boys are all in right, And I’m the only one of the bunch that don’t go out at night: Refrain: Don’t you go and worry, Mary, there is no one else but you, There are lots of pretty girls in France, there isn’t any one of them, Mary, even has a chance, I don’t understand their lingo, but if I learn to “parlez-vous,” I swear by all the stars above, I’ll never even mention love, so don’t you go and worry, Mary Verse: Mary, dear, there’s not a thing to fear, no matter what you hear, There’s nothing to it, dear, they’ve the queerest customs in Paree, The cutest sweetest little brunette has just adopted me: Refrain
