Willy Russell
Marilyn Monroe 3 (1995 London Cast Version)
[sung]
[MRS JOHNSTONE]
The jury found him guilty
Sent him down for seven years
Though he acted like they gave him life
He couldn't stop the tears
And when we went to visit him
He didn't want to know
It seems like jail's
Sent him off the rails
Just like Marilyn Monroe
His mind's gone dancin'
Can't stop dancin'

They showed him to a doctor
And after routine tests
A prescription the doctor wrote
For the chronically depressed
And now the tears have stopped
He sits and counts the days to go
And treats his ills with daily pills
Like Marilyn Monroe
They stop his mind from dancin'
Stop it dancin'
