I am just a bashful boy, in love with Mary Green She really is the sweetest gal that I have ever seen I've always lacked the courage to even sqeeze her tight But I've resolved to do my stuff when I see her tonight I'm gonna give it to Mary with love I've got something that she's fondest of Now I know that she has had it before And Mary's a girl that all the fells adore I'll let her take it right in her hand 'Cause I know that she'll stroke it so grand Like Jack and Jill We'll both get a thrill When I give it to Mary with love, my little kitten I'll give it to Mary with love I'm gonna give it to Mary with love She's my sweet cute turtle dove About my lovin' she's always been keen She'll say, when I give it, it's the finest she's seen She'll think of it long after I'm gone I'm gonna put it right where it belongs Like Cleo and Mark We'll spoon in the park When I give it to Mary with love, I mean a necklace I'll give it to Mary with love I'm gonna give it to Mary with love When I do it I may need a shove Because, you see, I'm so bashful and shy I'm afraid she'll take it from some other guy I wanna be her number one man And give it the best that I can I'll be darin' and dashin' For she is my passion When I give it to Mary with love, I mean a diamond I'll give it to Mary with love
