Ian Campbell Folk Group — Marilyn Monroe lyrics

Lyrics

«To Hollywood, to Hollywood, to Hollywood I’ll go
And you will know me by the name of Marilyn Monroe
For soldiers and for sailors I’ll glitter and I’ll glow
They’ll wish that they could have a girl like Marilyn Monroe»
Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn Monroe
«I'll light a candle in the sky wherever I may be
For those who have to walk alone and fear the dark like me
And all those lonely women, their names I’ll never know
I’ll glitter in the dark for them» said Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn Monroe
«Abe Lincoln is my hero» said Marilyn Monroe
And Arthur Miller’s more like him than any man I know"
Don’t marry Arthur Miller, they say that he’s a red
They say he’s un-American, «I'll marry him» she said
Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn Monroe
«Good bye to Arthur Miller, alone again I go
God help the man who marries me» said Marilyn Monroe
«It's up and down forever, my mind is like the sea
And one day when I’m done» she said, «will be the death of me»
Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn Monroe
«I hear the hounds behind my back, I know their voices well
But how the hunt will end» she said, «is more than I can tell
I hear the hounds behind me, no matter where I go
Good luck to every hunted thing» said Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn Monroe
«How long will they remember me?» said Marilyn Monroe
«How long will they remember me when death has laid me low?»
As long as there are people on this old world below
There’ll never be another one like Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn Monroe
