[VOCALIST]
You thought it all would be pie
No, Mary Ann
Pink little birds in the sky
No, Mary Ann
Symphony orchestras reeling
In glorious song
Nothing but beautiful feeling
Boy, were you wrong

Now you say life is a bore
No, Mary Ann
Dreary and gray and no more
No, Mary Ann
Say it's all pink
Say it's all gray
That's too easy to think
And too easy to say
And I'm just a man
Mary Ann

You thought it all would be pie
No, Mary Ann
Pink little birds in the sky
No, Mary Ann
Symphony orchestras reeling
In glorious song
Nothing but beautiful feeling
Boy, were you wrong
Suddenly now it's all flat
No, Mary Ann
Dreary and gray and that's that
No, Mary Ann
Say it's all pink
Say it's all gray
That's too easy to think
And too easy to say

It's what you feel
And that's the least of it
Make a meal
No, make a feast of it!
Thing of it is
I love you, Mary Ann
