[MARVIN]
Here's my chance
To survive the night
There's nothing special about it
If I try to go to sleep, I might
But the phone will ring

I had a girl
She cut her lip on the sofa by the door
The sofa was blue before
That's it for girls
That's it for girls

Here's my chance
To survive
To survive the night
Here's a dance
I might try to make
I'm not so lucid about it
But I'm sure of the path that the arms must take
And the feet don't move

I found a word
It was a queer little thing with lots of regret
I had a way with words, and yet
I'm through with words
That's it for words

Here's my chance
To survive
To survive the night

Here's my chance
To survive
To survive the night
To survive the day
To survive my life
In the most very natural
Most unremarkable way

I played a game
She was as cute as a dime and couldn't spell
I asked her to spell my name
That's it for girls
That's it for girls
That's it for girls
That's it, that's it, that's it for girls
That's it, that's it, that's it for girls
Here is my chance
To survive
To survive the night

Here's my chance
To survive
To survive the night

Here's my chance
To survive
Survive
Survive
Survive
To survive the night
