Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Girl of my dream, Marlene

You know who I mean, Marlene

You're just a dream, oh, Marlene

Why don't you let me come in, let me come in?

[Verse 2]

You sit there every night, Marlene

You are just right, Marlene

I turn on my light, oh, Marlene

Why don't you let me come in, let me come in?

[Verse 3]

Paper is torn, Marlene

Paper in the wall, Marlene

And I'm just a boy, Marlene

Why don't you let me come in, let me come in?

[Verse 4]

I said hey, hey, pretty girl, hey

Hey, pretty girl, hey

Hey, pretty girl

Hey, pretty girl, hey, pretty girl, hey

[Verse 5]

Hey, pretty girl, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, pretty girl

Hey pretty girl, hey, pretty girl

[Verse 6]

Turn off my light, Marlene

You're just a fright, Marlene

Come here tonight, Marlene

Why don't you let it come in, let it come in?

[Verse 7]

I said hey, hey, pretty girl, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, pretty girl

Hey, pretty girl, hey, pretty girl, hey

[Verse 8]

Hey, pretty girl, hey

Oh, pretty girl, hey

Hey, pretty girl

Hey, pretty girl, hey, pretty girl

[Verse 9]

Paper is torn, Marlene

Magazine worm, Marlene

Phone's off the wall, Marlene

Why don't you let me come in, let me come in?

[Verse 10]

Power is' pain, Marlene

Paper on the walls, Marlene

I'm hammerin' up the floor, Marlene

You won't let me come in, let me come in, ah, yeah
