I said, Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart. Sweet Mary Lou I'm so in love with you. I knew Mary Lou..we'd never part, So, Hell..o Mary Lou, goodbye heart.
You passed me by one sunny day, flashed those big brown eyes my way, And ooo, I wanted you forever more. Now, I'm not one that gets around, I swear my feet stuck to the ground, and though I never did meet you before. I said, Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart. Sweet Mary Lou I'm so in love with you. I knew Mary Lou..we'd never part, So, Hell..o Mary Lou, goodbye heart.
I saw your lips I heard your voice, believe me, I just had no choice. Wild horses couldn't make me stay away. I thought about a moonlit night, my arms around you good and tight, that's all I had to see, for me to say... I said, Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart. Sweet Mary Lou I'm so in love with you. I knew Mary Lou..we'd never part, So, Hell..o Mary Lou, goodbye heart. So, hello, Mary Lou, goodbye heart. A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
